2018 Spirit: AL Central

#15. Yoan Moncada, Chicago White Sox

#111. Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Indians

#166. Mikie Mahtook, Detroit Tigers

#75. Ian Kennedy, Kansas City Royals

#233. Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins


Jose Ramirez's card his the '2017 All-MLB Team - 1st' accolade, which you may be looking at saying, "wut?". Well it came from Jeff Passan's article at the end of last season and I think it's a great idea long overdue. The NBA has done All-NBA Teams and All-Defensive Teams forever and the NFL has the All-Pro designations every year. I like the idea of a definitive end-of-season list since the All-Star starters are really pretty arbitrary and only reflect the first half of the season at best. After seeing the list, it kinda makes Ramirez's monster 2018 season a little less out of nowhere. Plus it gives me plenty more accolades to put into use here.
