I would have understanded if Rowand had lost to Ichiro, Kotsay and Wells. Maybe even Vlad although I didn't watch his D as much this year besides the playoffs. But Hunter? This is the same BS that led to Raffy Palmeiro winning the GG at first after a total of 23 or so games. Just ridiculous. Jeter again? Wow......

There's a pretty good chance we won't have any players win individual post season awards. I think that makes a pretty big statement about our team that we will have no Silver Sluggers, no Gold Glovers, no MVP, no Cy Young etc. I wonder how common this is with WS champions.

Add in the fact that the World Series Champs didn't have a .300 hitter in the regular season too.

I was totally surprised to see Hunter win the GG

 

his defensive has not Gold Glove like this past year

 

I'm pretty sure I remember him missing a "routine" home run robbing catch this year...a play he makes almost every time.

 

He didn't play the full season, so he didn't deserve it on principle alone...but even in the 98 games he played, he played very good defense...but not gold glove defense by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Amazing what a reputation can do for you. The Twins could/should get a lot of value out of him in a trade, even with a disappointing season.

Did anyone actually THINK Rowand was going to win a gold glove this season?

 

Mate, I certaintly believed Rowand held a reasonable chance of winning the award. Honestly, I'm upset about this--not that Rowand lost in itself, but why give it to Hunter? Sounds like the All-Star balloting process where the marquee name alone, whether or not they deserve to be there, are voted in. '

I didnt think Rowand would win it. I'm just disappointed by Hunter's win.

 

Playing 60% of the season does not an award deserve.

Rafael Palmiero won a 1b Gold Glove for the Rangers 1999...

 

He only played 28 games at first base that year!!! (He DH'd the rest)

 

That's insane!!

 

wow, i can't believe that statistic.

 

how the hell is that possible? Who votes on this?
