Best Pick: Hanley Ramirez
When four first baseman fly off the board in the first 30 picks, one slotting in at 84th can be an afterthought. But after the monster 2016 season that Ramirez put up for the Boston Red Sox, overlooking this slugger would be a big mistake.
Hanley posted arguably his best season since 2009, turning back the clock with 30 homers and 111 RBI's, and it all could be due to an adjustment in swing mechanics that he made at the beginning of the year. Not only did he bump that walk rate up to a near career-high rate of 9.7%, but he also logged an impressive .219 ISO, the third-best mark of his career.
Whatever led to this renaissance for Ramirez in the second half of 2016 made him one of baseball's best hitters -- his .947 OPS in the second-half ranked 10th in the game.
