Gold Glove nominees named....
http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/10/29/3...ists-announced
Votto, Phillips, Cozart, Stubbs, Bruce and Arroyo all named. IMO the biggest snub is Ryan Hanigan.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
Got a few bizarre nominees in there - Aramis Ramirez, Martin Prado, Andre Ethier, A.J. Pierzynski and Brandon Inge. Carlos Gomez and Chris Young are notable omissions.
Most loaded position is AL SS. All three of those guys are dynamite.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
Ryan Braun???? He's terrible out there, even for a LF.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
FYI: The Reds have the most players named to the nominee list this year out of all the teams in MLB.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
I'm guessing Votto and Phillips are virtually sure-things, with both Stubbs and Cozart as distinct possibilities. Arroyo may make it, but he won it last year; so, no, not this year, IMO. Bruce-- notsomuch.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
For what it's worth, these are most all the catching stats I see on ESPN.com
Fielding % McCann .998 Yadi .997 Hanigan .995 Passed Balls Posey 2 Hanigan 3 Montero 5 SB allowed Hanigan 34 Yadi 38 Montero 44 Caught Stealing Posey 38 tied for 6th Hanigan 32 CS % Hanigan .485 Yadi .479 Montero .421 Catchers ERA Hanigan 3.05 Ellis 3.33 McCan 3.35 Posey 3.52 And Ryan didn't get into the top 3?!? Like I said, totally ROBBED! Personally I think he should've been the prohibited favorite except for the fact that they'll automatically give it to Molina. But in pretty much EVERY facet of the game defensively, Hanigan was the best in the NL. BY FAR.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
Brandon Phillips seems to think that he won't win. Yesterday, on Twitter, he posted this:

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
If Phillips doesn't win the silver slugger, who would? Neil Walker? Seriously asking.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
Wouldn't be shocked if the Reds get shut out on GG award. Or maybe one winner.
Hanigan was absolutely robbed. Phillips has a shot, but Barney could win it. Votto could win it, but the long injury may hurt him. Arroyo may have the best chance on the team. I don't expect Stubbs, Cozart, or Bruce to win. I think the real achievement here is Cozart being a finalist. Well deserved, the rookie really came up big as an all around SS this season, despite OBP problems. SS is the key defensive position on the ball field, Zack being a finalist there is terrific for him. Last edited by Kc61; 10-30-2012 at 02:44 PM. |

I do question though why Ruiz was nominated and not Hanigan. Hanigan caught more innings and had more defensive runs saved than Ruiz. That is where the snub is, in my opinion.

Re: Gold Glove nominees named....
Yadi was the best defensive catcher in the league this year.
For the record, I have zero amount of butt hurt that Hanigan wasn't nominated for the award. |
