Filed under: Braves, Giants, Phillies, Red Sox, White Sox, YankeesAs Manny Ramirez goes through September in his new White Sox uniform, the eyes of the baseball world will be upon him. It won't just be the normal slow-down-to-gawk-at-the-car-wreck curiosity with which we normally watch Manny. We are going to be eager to see if the old Manny, the one who was a dominant offensive force, can return, and carry the White Sox into the playoffs.
"If he hits, we'll be better," White Sox GM Kenny Williams said. "If he doesn't, we won't be better."
The White Sox trail the Twins by four games, and their offense could use a boost, which is why Ramirez is one of the guys who will be in a spotlight in the season's final month. He's not the only one. Not even on his own team.
With September upon us, here are the players who are going to be counted on the most heavily if their teams are to get where they want to be. These are players who have underperformed, but have a month to make everyone forget about what's gone wrong lately.
