GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Their respective entrances to the big leagues were drastically different. Jose Ramirez was relatively unknown when he arrived to the Majors from Double-A five years ago with a swagger in his step and the bravado of a seasoned star. Francisco Lindor had the spotlight fixed on him from the day he was drafted.
Their backgrounds no longer matter. Ramirez and Lindor are now both cornerstones for a Cleveland club determined to win a World Series and form one of baseball's most dynamic duos. Ramirez still walks with his chest out, and Lindor continues to flash that smile that has made him one of the young faces of this game.
