November 1, 200520 yr come on, this deserves its own thread. he only played in 98 games and he gets a gold glove? i can think of about 5 other guys more deserving. MLB took a nap on this one.

November 2, 200520 yr Torii Hunter has something Aaron Rowand doesn't have. Aaron Rowand has something Torii Hunter doesn't have. No need to get greedy.
November 2, 200520 yr i'm sure if they ask Aaron if "he is upset that he didn't win the GG" he would say: "NO WAY I got a WS ring babeeee!!!!"
November 2, 200520 yr There's a pretty good chance we won't have any players win individual post season awards. I think that makes a pretty big statement about our team that we will have no Silver Sluggers, no Gold Glovers, no MVP, no Cy Young etc. I wonder how common this is with WS champions.
November 2, 200520 yr I would have understanded if Rowand had lost to Ichiro, Kotsay and Wells. Maybe even Vlad although I didn't watch his D as much this year besides the playoffs. But Hunter? This is the same BS that led to Raffy Palmeiro winning the GG at first after a total of 23 or so games. Just ridiculous. Jeter again? Wow......
November 2, 200520 yr Tori Hunter gold glove my ass......He didnt even play the whole season. Besides his defense sucked this year....MLB can kiss my ass on these gold glove winners this year.

Add in the fact that the World Series Champs didn't have a .300 hitter in the regular season too.
November 2, 200520 yr I was totally surprised to see Hunter win the GG his defensive has not Gold Glove like this past year
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) Did anyone actually THINK Rowand was going to win a gold glove this season? I guess a lot of people did although I think more people are mad Hunter won it. Either way were WS champs so f*** everything else.
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) I was totally surprised to see Hunter win the GG his defensive has not Gold Glove like this past year I'm pretty sure I remember him missing a "routine" home run robbing catch this year...a play he makes almost every time. He didn't play the full season, so he didn't deserve it on principle alone...but even in the 98 games he played, he played very good defense...but not gold glove defense by any stretch of the imagination. Amazing what a reputation can do for you. The Twins could/should get a lot of value out of him in a trade, even with a disappointing season.
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) Did anyone actually THINK Rowand was going to win a gold glove this season? Mate, I certaintly believed Rowand held a reasonable chance of winning the award. Honestly, I'm upset about this--not that Rowand lost in itself, but why give it to Hunter? Sounds like the All-Star balloting process where the marquee name alone, whether or not they deserve to be there, are voted in. '
November 2, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Did anyone actually THINK Rowand was going to win a gold glove this season? I didnt think Rowand would win it. I'm just disappointed by Hunter's win. Playing 60% of the season does not an award deserve.
November 2, 200520 yr Rafael Palmiero won a 1b Gold Glove for the Rangers 1999... He only played 28 games at first base that year!!! (He DH'd the rest) That's insane!! Edited November 2, 200520 yr by RibbieRubarb
