3 hours ago3 hr Chase Meidroth is a Gold Glove finalist for 2B along with Michael Massey and Cole Young.Here are their fielding numbers at 2B:Meidroth: +10 FRV, 0 DRS, 1275.2 inningsMassey: +8 FRV, +5 DRS, 994.1 inningsYoung: -4 FRV, +16 DRS, 1350.1 inningsMassey has the most consistent numbers between the 2 systems but the least amount of innings at 2B. DRS and FRV disagree on Meidroth and Young quite a bit. If you take the middle point of the 2 systems, Meidroth is +5, Massey is +6.5, and Young is +6. I think Young being so polarizing on the 2 systems along with FRV technically being more trustworthy than DRS should eliminate him. I don't think there's a wrong answer between Meidroth or Massey. Meidroth is currently the favorite to win the award on Kalshi at 47%. 2nd place is McKinstry at 37%, but he is not a finalist. So I expect the odds to change there soon. Tristan Peters is not a finalist in CF despite being one of the best CFers in baseball. It's Rafaela's award to lose, but I feel like Peters deserved a finalist spot over Steven Kwan given Kwan only played part time in CF.

I think he's arguably our best overall player.
