None should win, IMO... maybe Moncada but I haven’t looked at the advanced metrics.

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.

This is a nice after result of how much the Sox improved in team defense.

Good Luis....one of the best catches I have ever seen in the 9th inning on that Saturday night.

Bad Luis....ahhhh a wall!!!!

Seriously, congrats to them all.  Especially happy for Mendick.

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.

Urshela is going to win it at 3B.

He actually might because even though Grandal and McCann split time, Perez also only caught 32 games

Elite defender Danny Mendick.

Ain't it the truth.

 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.

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.

?

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.

The McStann’s won’t be pleased that’s for sure

Wow, to be honest he was the one name that really surprised me on that list.

Hats off to Eloy who snagged the inaugural Golden Net award. He did it his way.

Mendick is the only clear winner for having his name snuck in.

  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.

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?

Have to think that Mendick was listed by mistake and now there's no takebacks
