Balta1701 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I find it to be a good thing that there are a lot of new faces on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 They don't even bother with this pointless award, so why should I bother caring. I highly doubt Maddux's old, fat ass was the best fielding pitcher in the NL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 McLouth wins the award the same day Bill James announces he is sabermetrically the worst fielder in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 McLouth winning is a joke, a classic example of winning the gold glove with your bat. I think all of the other first time winners (Phillips, Victorino, Gonzalez, and Molina) are quite deserving though, especially Phillips and Molina.

Dick Allen Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 AL picks P Mike Mussina, C Joe Mauer, 1B Carlos Pena, 2B Dustin Pedroia, SS Michael Young 3B Adrian Beltre, OF Torii Hunter, OF Grady Sizemore and OF Ichiro Suzuki. Cabrera's calls to the press box didn't pay off, although Young is a horrible selection for a GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Michael Young is definitely one of the worse SS's in the league, MLB really needs to re-work the way these rewards are decided. Right now its a joke and even most casual baseball fans could tell you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Michael Young is almost as bad as Jeter. This is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 How exactly are gold gloves awarded? Like the voting process, who actually votes? This has turned to the most overrated award in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Michael Young - 27th ranked SS in plus/minus (-7) Nate McLouth - 35th ranked CF in enhanced plus/minus with a lovely number of -40 Edited November 6, 2008 by sircaffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has turned to the most overrated award in baseball. I think managers and coaches vote. Considering the flak fans get for their ASG selections, I don't think these guys have done any better with their GG voting over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think I can agree with most of these picks. I disagree with Maddux, McLouth, Young, and Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
