None should win, IMO... maybe Moncada but I haven’t looked at the advanced metrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Grandal should be eliminated solely on the basis of that play where the ball went between his legs on that throw home because he wasn't paying attention. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is a nice after result of how much the Sox improved in team defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Good Luis....one of the best catches I have ever seen in the 9th inning on that Saturday night. Bad Luis....ahhhh a wall!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Seriously, congrats to them all. Especially happy for Mendick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 McCann and Grandal are going against Perez. One of them will probably end up winning it. I'm just here for when Grandal wins it and half of Soxtalk complains about it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually might because even though Grandal and McCann split time, Perez also only caught 32 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I am racking my brain, but I can't ever recall two players from the same team getting a nomination for the same position. That is wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Sounds like the MLB made a mistake with GG nods for 2B, and Nicky Lopez was supposed to be nominated. Now there are 4 nominees for that category when every other category has 3. Methinks someone shouldn't have been named, and Mendick (ending the year as 3rd on the depth chart) was probably the beneficiary of that mistake. https://twitter.com/FlannyMLB/status/1319365251528347648?s=20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 lol at Grandal on there. Mendick didn't play enough. Seriously, why no Jose? I'm not sure what is going on when Jose played the best 1B of his career and he doesn't get mentioned but these other guys do? Robert and Moncada only really deserve it. McCann maybe also would be too many interference calls. Both he and Grandal racked up too many of those. We got like 4 seasons worth of C interference calls in a 60 game season.

I'm happy for Mendick because he can add that to his baseball resume when he hangs things up. He had a really good season defensively and played three positions while doing it. A batting slump at the end came up to grab him but he had a good over-all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Surprised Abreu was named a finalist. He had a really nice year defensively. It's wild that Grandal and McCann were both nominated. Their time behind the plate wasn't split 50/50, was it? Mendick's nomination was a surprise, especially since he finished the season in the minors. Maybe it was the dancing?
