Comparing this spring training to last year's Fredi listed what he believes to be the two most improved players.

I can't imagine that Ramirez will put up substantially better numbers at the plate than he did last season.  But I'm all for it if he does.  I suspect if we see a marked improvement on the field it will be on the defensive side, which will be most welcome.

VandenHurk, I can easily believe he will better than last season.  While it is unfortunate that he had to be rushed to the majors, he is doing a good job of adjusting to the situation.  I still believe he would be better served dominating in the minors, building confidence, and getting ready for a good career in the show (barring injury).  But the Marlins don't have that luxury.
