Sometime later this month, José Ramírez is going to cross the 30 wins above replacement threshold for his career, and if all goes well, will enter the top 25 all-time WAR leaders in Cleveland baseball history by the end of the season.
He’ll be just 29 and already have had a tremendous career. For a guy who was quite clearly a complete unknown coming into his first major league appearance in 2013, this is incredible. He is incredible. You could say that he’s going to be an all-time Cleveland baseball great by the time he ends his career here, but the fact of the matter is, he already is.
