Former general manager Hank Peters died at the age of 90. His drafts set the stage for the Indians dominance of the second half of the 1990s:

Peters had some incredible drafts during his tenure as the Indians GM, in which he essentially served as a bridge to his protegee, Hart. His 1989 draft netted the Indians a likely future Hall of Famer in Jim Thome, and the team got the productive Brian Giles a few rounds later.

…

Oh yeah, Peters also had the foresight to pop a risky talent with the 13th pick in the 1991 draft, and it’s fair to say Manny Ramirez made good on Peters’s gamble.

He was also responsible for the last Orioles team to win the World Series.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
