Cleveland Indians news: Jose Ramirez is ready to start the season

The new year is here and that means there is a new Cleveland Indians season ahead of us. One player in particular seems to be excited about this fact.

Monday was a blur.

But after some rest and recovery, I am rejuvenated knowing that it is 2018 and a new Cleveland Indians season is not too far away. And the days keep getting longer, so that’s nice too.

Jose Ramirez seems to be excited as well.

Tweets like this are why social media can be so fun. Players are able to say things that don’t come through the media, and even something as simple as a gif reminds us that the players are just as excited as the fans for the 2018 season to get underway. Also, it must be nice to tweet out a gif and get so many retweets and likes. One day…

It isn’t much, but it’s still a refreshing and fun sight when much of Cleveland sports Twitter is focusing on an upcoming parade.

Today will begin our look back at the Top 25 players from the 2017 season, which will begin with a look back at the top players from 2016. January is a slow news month, but it is a perfect time to take a final look back as we await the start of Spring Training.
