Milwaukees Aramis Ramirez can still mash when healthy -- more than 25 home from miao1234's blog
Fans have waited a long time to see this original six matchup featuring the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks. John Phillips Chargers Jersey . The Canadiens havent played the reigning Stanley Cup champions since December 21, 2011. "Every time you get to face players you dont get to see all that often, fans get excited and so do the players," Lars Eller said. Despite the lack of familiarity with the Blackhawks, the Canadiens will try and execute the same type of game plan that allowed them to pick up a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins back in November. "Chicago and Pittsburgh are two teams that have a lot of offensive young players and have been able to remain a competitive team each year," Brandon Prust told the media. A key player in tonights game will be Tomas Plekanec, who is known for his ability to shut down top players. Plekanec was able to get under Sidney Crosbys skin and kept him off the score sheet, and hopes to do with same with Jonathan Toews. The Canadiens look to turn the page on their poor performance in Philadelphia that resulted in a 3-1 loss. George Parros will return to the lineup for the first time since suffering his second concussion of the season after a fight with Eric Boulton of the New York Islanders on December 14. Defenceman Francis Bouillon will watch this one from the press box. Manti Teo Chargers Jersey . Ibrahimovic drilled in a first-half penalty, then set up Cavani before grabbing his second of the night to take his league tally to 17 in 20 games season. PSG never let up and could even have added further goals against a dispirited Nantes side. They will meet again next month in the semifinals of the League Cup and Nantes will hardly be looking forward to that contest. Danario Alexander Chargers Jersey . Watch it NOW on TSN. Bob McKenzies NHL Draft Prospect Ranking is also available on TSN Mobile TV and on-demand at TSN.ca. McKenzie is joined by host James Duthie in the TSN Studio as they count down the list of Top 30 consensus draft prospects - the definitive measuring stick on where players rank in the run-up to the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.Third base is a relatively shallow position, giving the best hot corner options even more relative value. Leaving aside now-first-baseman Miguel Cabrera, the best of the bunch has been Texas Adrian Beltre who, over the past five seasons, sits just behind Tampa Bays Evan Longoria in runs, home runs and RBI, but has a batting average nearly 30 points higher, enough to get the nod, particularly since Beltre has stayed relatively healthy throughout his career. Thats not to say that Longoria isnt great; hes hit 30-plus homers three times and he played 160 games last season, but missed 117 in the previous two years, so that hangs over any decision to take him. The injury bug has caught the Mets David Wright in two of the past three seasons, causing him to miss 50 or more games in 2011 and 2013, but hes also a career .301 hitter who has power and has added at least 15 stolen bases per season in eight of the past nine years. Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman has belted at least 25 homers in four of the past five seasons, and that consistency makes him better than most at the position. While those have the longer track record, there are some that are newer to the hot corner that also have put up big numbers. Oaklands Josh Donaldson had a breakout season in 2013 and Seattles Kyle Seager has back-to-back 20 home run seasons. St. Louis Matt Carpenter, who might have more value at his previous position of second base, but he led the NNational League with 126 runs scored last year, while hitting . Reggie Walker Chargers Jersey. 18, and that works at any position. Beyond that, there are more challenges involved. San Diegos Chase Headley followed up a breakthrough 2012 season with a dramatic drop-off in 2013, so take your chances. Pittsburghs Pedro Alvarez led the National League with 36 home runs last season, but also whiffed a league-high 186 times on his way to a .233 batting average, so you pay a price to get that power; probably enough to avoid Alvarez unless hes filling a corner infield spot. In his mid-30s and coming an injury-shortened season, Milwaukees Aramis Ramirez can still mash when healthy -- more than 25 home runs in eight of the past 10 seasons. A couple of rising stars may still be a year or two away from being huge fantasy contributors, but its worth keeping Baltimores Manny Machado, coming back from knee injury, and Colorados Nolan Arenado have potential thats worth investing in at some point. Others with upside include Torontos Brett Lawrie, who is still untapped potential, and San Franciscos Pablo Sandoval has dropped some weight, so might be a bit of a sleeper. Really, beyond the top handful of choices at third base, a lot of the appeal is in the eye of the beholder Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.
