Dan Uggla 2b, Hanley Ramirez SS, and John Mallee at batting practice at the Cell before a Marlins vs White Sox game.
Uggla has put up outstanding numbers thus far, ranking in the top five among NL second basemen in batting average, home runs and RBI. He is making a strong case to be in Anaheim for the All-Star game in July. Ramirez has been a force in Interleague play. In 67 career games, he is a .299 hitter with 16 doubles, 11 homers, 36 RBI and a .837 OPS.
