NL Gold Glove winners

[Post Count Padder]

When Chico Lind won the '92 GG, I lost all faith in the voters. I've not given a rat's butt about the GG since.

For me, it was when Palmeiro won. It really showed how worthless the award actually is.

The Gold Glove HAS to be the most meaningless award in professional sports.

 

I think I actually have a gold glove or two in the hall closet.

 

Yup, Its a popularity contest. I believe its votred on by other players ect so thats why the same guys win it almost every year. It should be based on some kind of stat mix instead so that the guys that actually deserve it get it.

I agree that the GG is a joke most of the time.

 

Rolen seemed to play his worst D vs. the Cubs this year. I still think he's a top notch fielder. Probably living on rep these days more than he should.

Pujols was fantastic at 1st this year. That said, Lee is one of the best I've ever watched in person. It will probably go back his way next year if he stays healthy. My biggest protest is that Molina didn't get his first GG. Heck, he hit .216 this year. that should tell you something about his play in the field.

 

Oh well. It's the MVP and Cy that I'm waiting for.

 

Me too. The Phillies would have been 20 + games under .500 without Ryan Howard. I can't think of anyone that deserves it as much as he does. :lol:

How did Aramis get beat out by Rolan? That makes me mad!!

Are you serious?

 

Feliz, Wright, Rolen, Zimmerman > Ramirez.

 

Wright was among the worst fielding 3Bs this year by BBTF's metric. Most scouts and analysts expect Wright to be a very good defensive 3B, but he wasn't this year.

 

Nor was he last year. The discussion almost got me in big trouble, with the big man.

 

God got angry at you for your opinions on David Wright's fielding?
