Chisoxfn Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Chavez win it again? A real travesty in my book, that said Chavez is damn good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) Ugh. Chavez was playing hurt half the year. Although I didn't see many of these guys, it's hard for me to believe that he was better than Crede, Inge, Lowell, or Beltre. I'm assuming Uribe didn't get the GG either, right? EDIT: Full list: P Kenny Rogers C Ivan Rodriguez 1B Mark Teixeira 2B Mark Grudzielanek SS Derek Jeter 3B Eric Chavez OF Torii Hunter OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Vernon Wells Edited November 2, 2006 by CWSGuy406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Do the people that vote ever actually watch a f***ing game or care who actually played a full season? OMFG?? Now that was a fun 4 seconds of the off season, back to sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The GG, like the Heisman and most other media-voted awards, is absolute garbage. There is no correlation between winning it and being what the winner was intended to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Grudz had a pretty darn good year. I don't know if he was the very best but he's pretty damn solid. I got no problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 2, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) Grudz had a pretty darn good year. I don't know if he was the very best but he's pretty damn solid. I got no problem with that. Yeah, Grudz was pretty good, and thanks to Orlando Hudson leaving the AL, there was no standout 2Bs left. In the beginning of the year, I commented that the defense at 2B in the AL is terrible compared to what it was just a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Wasn't Lopez considered to be a pretty good second base man? The Red Sox had a great defensive infield, but didn't get a single gold glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Sox had a great defensive infield, but didn't get a single gold glove. They had a defense that didn't make errors, which we all know isn't the best measure of defense. They were better on the corners than they were up the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Mike Lowell > Joe Crede > Eric Chavez. Just more proof that the Gold Glove is pretty much a "People know my name more than they know yours" contest. What a f***ing joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxMatt Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Chavez committed 5 errors all season long, he deserved it...Grudz had an awesome season he deserved...Boston led the AL in Fielding % and no Red Sox won a GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Nov 2, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) Chavez committed 5 errors all season long, he deserved it...Grudz had an awesome season he deserved...Boston led the AL in Fielding % and no Red Sox won a GG I think it's a pretty well documented and accepted notion that # of errors/field% are not great measures of defensive prowess. Afterall Orlando Hudson had 12 errors last year compared to Tadahito Iguchi's 8, I don't think you're going to find many baseball people who will tell you Iguchi is a better fielder than Hudson. And if you're going to go by errors committed then you should probably be upset Lowell didn't win it seeing how he committed only one more error but in 72 more chances. Chavez: 5 errors in 391 chances (.987) and Lowell: 6 errors in 463 chances (.987) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazewc77 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 This is a joke how can Crede not win Gold Glove ????? With the game on the line and if I have to pick the 3b that would make the game ending play I would always pick Crede. They should let the fans pick the winners just like the All-Star Game. Eric Chavez just won it out pure popularity this sucks.................not only did we didn't make the playoffs and now we get snubed on this as well, I forgot that we are dealing with a sport that glorifies Kenny Rogers so called "dirt" on his hand.

whitesoxfan101 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The Gold Glove is an irrelevant popularity contest anyways. Not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 On some of the positions, it came down to popularity and probably who made the playoffs. The regular season awards should be determined before the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think we all saw a lot of Brandon Inge this year versus the Sox, and I also caught probably a couple dozen other Tigers games on Extra Innings, and damn. To me, he looked better than Crede. And both of them looked better than Chavez. Lowell, I could take it or leave it, but the numbers are certainly there. This isn't as ridiculous as Towii winning last year, or Jeter winning annually, but it's an injustice of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm not as upset that Juan or Crede didn't win it as much as it now taints (heh, taint) the award for those who truly have deserved it. The Ozzie Smith's, the Brooks Robinsons, the Willie Mays, etc. I mean, Ozzie Smith > Juan Uribe >>>>>>>>Derek Jeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
