White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen supports the team's decision to give Alexei Ramirez a contract extension. Guillen called it "a joke" that a recent MLB Network ranking of major-league shortstops had Ramirez at No. 7. "This kid is one of the best shortstops in the game, maybe top three or top four," Guillen said. "You have the kid in Colorado [Troy Tulowitzki], the kid in Miami [Hanley Ramirez]. They are pretty good players. I think Alexei is right around there. This kid is a great ballplayer."
