Description

1) Long-term extensions with teams and players going deep into their 30s never work out, but I am still all for resigning Jose Ramirez. I go deep on why his desire to stay in Cleveland is more believable than with Francisco Lindor stating the same thing. I talk about why Jose might want to stay and how we all have to accept that if we are happy now we can't complain when the natural aging curve happens. 
2) The 1991 draft was the last Hank Peters draft. He was GM for four years and had three of the best drafts in the history of the Indians. We look at the best late-round picks and some interesting numbers from the class. Along with the draft in general it went 94 rounds, and one of the teams drafting in the 94th round ended up with a net negative WAR for the draft with their top pick being future Indians reliever Alvin Morman. 
3) We dig into the most successful first-rounder in team history and show how the Indians utterly dominated the 1991 draft. Since Jose Ramirez is the Indians best pure hitter since Manny Ramirez it only makes sense to talk about his draft class. The Indians drafted one of the top 5 players by bWAR in five of the first seven rounds in what turned out to be a very strong class. We also try to figure out if Damian Jackson signed or not as a 44th rounder.
