There might be those top guys.

But it always feels like, Jose, and I know this because I voted for the MVP a few different times over the last few years.

And it always feels like, well, you're not paying attention, but you can't ignore Jose Ramirez always finishing in the top five.

usually three and four, after the guys who were blowing everybody else away that year.

But, I mean, it's kind of amazing.

It really is kind of amazing.

And you have to sort of take a step back and realize how good this player is, how valuable this player is, how consistent this player is.

And that's why I wanted to do this Baseballs and Boring on the Go because it's a good time to do it when we have news about Jose Ramirez signing this contract.

So you look at war, look at war in terms of third baseman, going through the age 32 season, the highest war.

Well, Eddie Matthews, 86 war.

Mike Schmidt, 74 war.

Ron Santos, 69.1 war.

George Brett, 66.1.

Wade Boggs, 63.2.

And then, yes, Jose Ramirez at 50.

He's at 57.7 war.

Just slightly above, by the way, after his age 32 season, Brooks Robinson, who was at 57.1.

And Hall of Famer Scott Rowland, whose candidacy was based on his 70 war where he landed.

Well, Scott Rowland didn't have as good a war as Jose Ramirez did.

At this time, it's his life, 32 years old on the planet.
