Baseball Off-Season To-Do List
2014 Topps Chrome Rookie Autographs #45 Jose Ramirez
Playing in Cleveland, it is easy to overlook Ramirez, but over 9 major league seasons he has established himself as a star. Realistically, he needs five more years with wins above replacement totals over 4 and a couple of more All-Star game selections to have a realistic Hall of Fame case, but he is still only 29 years old and has shot. In addition, Cleveland has a ton of young pitching talent. As a result, the Indians should be in the playoff conversation for the next several years, which will give Ramirez a chance to shine in important games. One Ramirez card to keep an eye on is his 2014 Topps Chrome Autograph. PSA 9 versions of this card have a buy it now price on eBay of $180.
