In 1999, Rafael Palmeiro won the GG award at firstbase. He played 28 games at first that year. This is the dumbest award of all time. |

O-Dog beat out BP but I was listening to C Trent and The Bad Boy (on 1530 subbing for Lance) earlier and one of them said that O-Dog thought BP should have won it. At least the players know what's up.

Re: Gold Glove winners
Well, some of them. It's the players who do the voting for GG.

Re: Gold Glove winners
Pudge and Beltre seem to be surprises for the AL GG.
Rowand is the only surprise for the NL. IMO, of course. As for Phillips getting jobbed over Hudson, I just don't see it. Phillips is a good defender, but he's not Chase Utley or Orlando Hudson. Again, also IMO. |

Re: Gold Glove winners
The GG awards are determined by the coaches and managers in the majors and the voting occurs before the season ends. The players don't get to vote.

Re: Gold Glove winners
I like Greg Maddox a lot, but it is obvious he is getting the award yearly now simply to be getting the award yearly.

Re: Gold Glove winners
I was under the impression Adrian Beltre was of the EE mold. Great range, inconsistent arm. But good for him if he now has a GG. I can't for the life of me think of anyone that had a good year defensive at 3B this year in the AL.

I lost track of how many Phillies games I attended when I lived in Philly between April 2005 and December 2006, but Chase Utley and Brandon Phillips are both joys to watch in the field. I just think Utley is more polished. |

Re: Gold Glove winners
Beltre has always been a defensive stud.

Youkilis was a decent choice for 1B. Kotchman might be a little better there, too. But 3B and 1B are both reasonable, IMO. Even 2B and SS aren't completely awful choices, either, there's no totally inexplicable Jeter type among the IFers.
