How good is Jose Ramirez? How many fans understand what they are watching during Tribe games?
Cooperstown good.
He obviously has to continue his level of play for another half decade or so, but right now he is well on his way.
Thru age 28 he has accrued 34.4 fWAR.
These are the HOF Cleveland position players who had accrued that amount thru age 28 (counting two that IMO should be)...

Watching a baseball game is not only about rooting for your favorite team. Its also about watching the greatest players in the game perform feats that even the best of us can't even imagine doing.
Like seeing Pavarotti perform at the Met, or visiting the Louvre.
I wonder how many of us realized that for three years we got to watch the greatest defensive keystone combination in the history of a sport thats been played since the Civil War, when Robbie joined Omar?
Or that we got to watch perhaps the greatest five year run of pitching in Indians history when Kluber was here?
We Tribe fans may not have watched any World Series celebrations, but we have seen some performances for the ages...and we are watching one now.
