Guess Franklin didn’t have a good enough year at the plate.

Franklin said some things Whitey wasn’t ready to hear.

Franklin said some things African-Americaney wasn’t ready to hear, either.

Give Franklin some lines!

Also! To me, Polanco looks like he lost a step this year.

by Ryan on Nov 10, 2009 4:21 PM EST reply actions

His head is smaller as well.

Is Buehrle a good defender, or did he just throw a perfect game this year?

He’s a very good defender, plus he has the great pickoff move.

by Ryan on Nov 10, 2009 4:24 PM EST up reply actions

agree, begrudgingly.

I knew about the pick-off, don’t remember him being a great defeneder, but I believe you.

Had a much much better year defensively, if that helps.

Neyer gives his thoughts on the Gold Gloves picks, and the only ones he liked were Longoria and Buehrle. He mentions Gutz as the biggest snub.

Don’t read the comments — they’re worse that cleveland.com.

by Buckeye Brad on Nov 10, 2009 4:56 PM EST reply actions

Longoria is an extremely good choice. I seemed to have remembered him winning one last year too [probably was just me thinking he should have won it].

Gutz is without doubt the biggest snub. When the best defensive player on the planet isn’t picked as one of the top 18, there’s a problem.

Finally convinced my dad that Jeter is immensely hatable.

An extremely good choice?

by Jay on Nov 10, 2009 6:45 PM EST up reply actions

yeah, hyperbole. whatever.

by westbrook on Nov 10, 2009 10:13 PM EST up reply actions

Inge, even with a bad knee, is a better defender than Longoria. Obviously Longoria is the better overall player.

by Ryan on Nov 10, 2009 7:22 PM EST up reply actions

I guess people don’t actually get smarter by reading Neyer. You’d think the self-selection would elevate the comment level.

I don’t care about any post-season awards.

But I do get angry because Hall of Fame voters will cite to these awards when they consider a candidate’s worthiness.

Dammit, Gutz has no shot of making the hall now.

I am so sick of Derek Jeter winning things.

If we can call ~~Joba~~ Justin, I propose we start calling Jeter, Retej. Why, I don’t know, just sounds better to me.

by talonk on Nov 11, 2009 12:19 PM EST up reply actions

Except Justin is his real name. I am fairly certain that Derek Jeter is just Derek Jeter.

BUT HIS MIDDLE NAME IS SANDERSON! HA!

by emd2k3 on Nov 12, 2009 2:26 PM EST up reply actions

Managers and coaches select these things, if I remember it right. Most coaches are not known for their intelligence. The managers just write down “Jeter,” because it’s a way of getting the piece of paper off their desk. Why bother thinking about it if you’re a manager? It’s just another dumb media thing.

Ever since A-Rod won the GG over Vizquel in 2002 the award has just been a joke to me. Palmeiro winning in 1999 really was pushing it but A-Rod and subsequently Jeter winning the award has totally cheapened it and made it a popularity contest and not a true accolade of the best fielder at a given position.

by The Grimace on Nov 11, 2009 2:08 AM EST reply actions

It would seem Alex Rodriguez had a better fielding year than Omar in 2002. For some flukey reason Vizquel’s numbers stunk it up that year. The Parlmeiro one should have been the big deal.
