Indians in the Infield

Jose Ramirez and Fancisco Lindor captured back-to-back Sliver Slugger awards. In doing so, Ramirez joined an exclusive Indians club:

Ramirez became only the third Indian to record a 30-30 season (at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases) in a single season, joining Joe Carter and Grady Sizemore.

Carter surprised me. When I think of Carter, I think of RBI, yet for his career he was an excellent base stealer, swiping 231 bases in 297 tries. Carter was a bit overrated in his time. Fans ignored his low OBP because he put the bat on the ball, hit for power, and drove in runs. He also was outgoing, always willing to talk to the press, always upbeat. He was a good player, but not the superstar many saw.
