Tnetennba Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I fully admit that I have no idea of what the Silver Slugger voting criteria is, but Abreu beat Hosmer in all of these 'Slugging' categories sans Batting Average...

ptatc Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 10:57 AM) Jeter Gold Glove syndrome Rapheal Palmeiro. He won the gold Glove one year when he played 130 (or close) games at DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Boras is going to use it to increase Hosmer's AAV which will help cripple some team down the line, so I'm OK with this for that reason alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 For the longest time I thought Silver Slugger was given to the player with the highest BA that qualified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It is by far the most worthless award so I don’t feel that bitter. Hopefully Jose doesn’t include SS as a contract incentive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 08:29 AM) Wait the Slugger is a vote? I thought it was purely statistical. That's stupid. It's a vote from MLB managers and coaches. So like any vote, even among guys you think would know better or delve into stats more, yes, the more name worthy candidates win it usually from winning teams. Seager won over Cozart and Goldschmidt over Votto. There are also other debatable winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Are stolen bases supposed to be included in the criteria for the SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
