If this were 2018, would Todd Frazier be an Indian right now?
Like life, timing is everything in baseball. And the Indians have terrible timing right now.
Through June 12 this season, Jose Ramirez was hitting .198 with four homers and a .586 OPS and the Indians were 34-33. Ramirez took off from that point, resembling the star who finished third in the AL MVP voting each of the past two years, hitting .313 with 14 homers and a 1.003 OPS as the Indians went 42-21 through Saturday. On Saturday Ramirez fractured the hamate bone in his right hand.
