Kalapse Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Sabermetrics are having more and more impact on performance evaluation every passing year. I don't think will see another 2005 AL CY Young or 2006 NL MVP farce anytime soon. There's a reason why Franklin Gutierrez got 4 years, $20.5M with only 3 years of service time under his belt and pedestrian career offensive production (Tom Tango's presence in the front office for one). As the teams start using more and more of these advanced metrics in player evaluation the media will catch up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers and coaches from baseballalmanac.com Voting is currently done by the managers and coaches from each Major League team who are NOT able to select their own players. something tells me that the gold glove voting system needs to be fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) Whoever votes for the Golden Glove awards is still years behind though... I gave up on the GG a few years ago. How Gutierrez and Utley didn't win one defies any logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I gave up on the GG a few years ago. Yeah, Rafeal Palmerio won one one year I believe and rarely played the infield. And didn't some DH win one or something of that ilk? I dunno, but the GG award voting is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Good trade for both squads as long as Mets get some money. Since Beltran will be out for some months now - Matthews offers a much needed spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're sending Brian Stokes to the Angels, who, outside from one bad year, is a decent reliever. Even if he were free, GMJ has no value, so I don't get this trade.

Melissa1334 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i saw again on mlb rumors, that damon most likely will go to the braves or tigers. so my question is: why did the tigers trade granderson? he wasnt making that much money,esp considering how good he was and how he was a leader. so they trade him and sign valverde and might get damon? i thought the whole point was to lower the payroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically paying $2 million additional over what the Angels are paying Fernando Rodney? What a swap that was for the Tigers. Now they might get Damon for $4-5 million? Probably tough for them to pass up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
