1. Aramis Ramirez - The Angels need to get some power out of...

Peter Bourjos has been very solid for the Los Angeles Angels in 2011
24-year old righty swinging CF Peter Bourjos has had a solid year with the bat for the Angels in 2011. But the reason I like watching him play is because of his awesome range in CF defensively.
