Watch Your Back Aramis

It was bad enough for Aramis Ramirez that he's out for at least a couple days with a strained knee, but now there's more bad news. The Cubs have taken a third baseman with the 3rd pick of the draft, a high school senior named Josh Vitters.

Vitters, who turns 18 on Aug. 27, is ranked as the top pure high school hitter by Baseball America. He batted .371 with eight homers and 25 RBIs for Cypress (Calif.) High School.

I know it's gonna be a while til this kid makes his way to the bigs, but I hope the Cubs move him along quickly. Competition is always a good thing, and we need all the help we can get. And I'm sure by the time he gets here Aramis will be burned out. If not, teach him to play shortstop. I'm getting tired of watching E5 play.
