‘The Fish’ Net 2 All-Star Selections!!!

Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson of the Florida Marlins have been named as selections to the National League team in the 2009 All-Star game!!!

Hanley will make his 2nd appearance in the All-star game as he continues to prove that he is one of the most talented offensive players in the sport.  He heads into the break with a .346 batting average alongside 14 home runs, 60 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.  It’s a well deserved start for Hanley and it’s nice to see him getting the respect he deserves over other shortstops in the NL that are playing for major market cities.

Joshn Johnson’s selection as a pitcher for the NL squad is very special.  Johnson is clearly the best pitcher in the team’s rotation and he has been spectacular since returning from Tommy John surgery late last year.  Armed with a 7-1 record, Johnson is arguably better now than he was prior to his surgery.  Johnson has a very low ERA of just 2.76 and he has struck out 97 batters so far this season while walking just 32.

A big ‘CONGRATULATIONS’ goes out to both Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson – our 2009 All-Stars!!!!

Go Fish!!!
