CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It wasn't just the blazing orange hair, the ever-soaring helmet and the signature strut. Jose Ramirez made a name for himself in 2016 with his bat and with his glove.
For that, Cleveland's chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America named Ramirez the Bob Feller Man of the Year award winner.
Ramirez replaced Michael Brantley (last year's winner) in left field when the Indians ran out of options. When Juan Uribe -- Ramirez's pseudo-father -- was dismissed, Ramirez shifted to third base without a hitch. Through it all, he delivered timely hit after timely hit after timely hit, a constant pest to opposing pitchers.
