HeGone! Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Do you think there will be any White Sox gold glove winners this year. I personally think Rowand could and Mark and Jon have been great this year, like usual. It'd be great to see Aaron win it, as good as he's been this year in critical situations, when he had to make a play. Also, I think A.J. deserves one behind the plate. He's been near perfect and is the best pitch-caller in the MLB. Plus, if he's in a close race with another catcher, his spike in offense this year could help him overcome another player. Here's some fielding stats: TEAM POS G GS INN TC PO A E DP PB SB CS RF FPCT A. Rowand CWS OF 133 128 1162.1 322 316 3 3 1 --- --- - -- 2.47 .991 P Konerko CWS 1B 125 124 1097.1 1214 1146 64 4 108 --- --- --- 9.92 .997 J Uribe CWS SS 124 121 1094.0 577 211 352 14 74 --- --- --- 4.63 .976 J Dye CWS OF 119 116 1051.0 235 219 9 7 2 --- --- --- 1.95 .970 T Iguchi CWS 2B 113 109 993.0 526 196 317 13 66 --- --- - -- 4.65 .975 J Crede CWS 3B 111 105 960.0 296 76 212 8 24 --- --- --- 2.70 .973 A Pierzynski CWS C 107 106 957.2 726 684 41 1 6 7 70 23 6.81 .999 .

Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 In a perfect world, Rowand, Crede, and maybe Uribe would get one. But, of course, this world is incredibly flawed. They'll go to more "well known" players that probably aren't as deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadahito15 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 They arent big names like Edmonds, Jones, Hunter etc. so probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeGone! Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 yeah, I agree. It'd be really nice to see, but in reality it probably won't happen, because of publicity for the MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Crede won't get one...being hurt hasn't helped him, and he's not Chavez - the marquee name. ARow actually I think has a very very good shot, because first of all Torii Hunter has been out for half the season, and secondly ARow put on a show on a public stage for the Yankees and their sportswriters. Uribe...well, he's not the best shortstop in the AL, but he's not the worst either. He needs some more time there. Pitching...god damnit, one of our guys better win that damn glove. There have been none better in the AL this season than Mark/Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) I love AJ, but he is FAR from a GG catcher. Agreed, Garcia and Count would have less than half of the WPs if Matheny was behind the plate. Plus he's not exactly throwing out runners at a high percentage (even when Buehrle is on the hill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been none better in the AL this season than Mark/Jon. I agree. The AL pitcher gold glove is a toss up between Mark and Jon this season. The winner goes to the one of theose two who has the lowest ERA at the end of the year. (We'll wait and see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'll be surprised if we have any Gold Glove winners. I guarantee you that Crede and AJP won't win one. Rowand might have the best chance, and that's cause of the NYY series and Hunter's injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC76 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Rowand got a lot of publicity for his defense that week in New York, so he might have a chance. He opened some eyes. I thought Crede definitely deserved a gold glove until that error against the Red Sox in the night at the Cell. After that, he seemed to lose a little confidence.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I agree that Rowand has a legit shot. Don't really see anyone else. Who will win pitcher? The gambler missed time so I guess it could be one of ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think that Aaron, Crede, Jon, and possible Pierzynski will win gold gloves. Last time I checked, Pierzynski's CERA was 4th lowest in the league. Pierzynski is my "reach" pick though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 CERA has nothing to do with the defense of a catcher really. Vernon Wells and Ichiro will both win GG this year most likely. The third is pretty much up for grabs. I don't see Row getting it, he still is not well known enough nationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yea, I wasnt sure if CERA did or not count for defense. It should , but without it counting, AJ won't win one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) I'm thinking Kotsay will come away with the GG. Unfortunately the gold glove basically became meaningless to me when Jeter won one last year. Rowand and Kotsay are the two best outfielders in the A.L. this year with Hunter on the dl for a lot of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The gold glove is Aarons for the taking, but his biggest problem in something like this is he actually gets too good of reads on balls, and is usually slowing down when he gets to them, vs making the sportscenter diving catches that some guys make because their reads suck.

Chisoxfn Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) I'm thinking Kotsay will come away with the GG. This is gonna be Rowand's first. Hunter is down and Kotsay isn't as good as Aaron, imo. Aaron has gotten some late coverage from ESPN (including the labor day broadcast in Boston where they raved about his defense) and I think that, along with the Sox playing well this year will get him the award). Chavez will win it for 3rd. Crede is near =, but Chavez can hit and until Crede develops his offensive game a little more he won't win the award. AJ nowhere close (can't throw out a runner) and its Bengie Molinas award to lose, imo. Garland/Buehrle are both outstanding fielding pitchers, but I don't know if they'll get it. Garland is the better of the two, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
