May 9, 200619 yr Now, im not a Sox fan obviously Im a Cardinals fan but I think Ill drop by here from time to time, I am an everyday poster at TalkBears, and TalkBulls so id thought Id create a name here. Ok so ne ways, I love how Joe Crede plays 3rd base. He has made dramatic improvements over the years and IMO should be in the running for a gold glove. What do you think?
May 9, 200619 yr I definatley think he should be in the running for a gold glove. He has been compared to Brooks Robinson. I am not sure I can go that far yet, but he plays a damn good three bag.
May 9, 200619 yr Welcome. This has been discussed several times. Crede's certainly deserving. He's ALWAYS had the great glove, but it's been under the radar before his bat got hot last fall. However, the gold glove is a bit of a farce, in that you must be a good offensive player to earn the gold glove also. If Crede continues hitting the way he does, he'll have no problem taking the hardware home.

May 9, 200619 yr He is One of the best clutch hitters in the game already IMO...Especially in last years playoffs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Welcome. Nice to see someone from Cardinals territory here. But, yeah, unless his stick is good, you can forget about him getting a gold glove
May 9, 200619 yr What the hell is this? If you cannot discuss Jose Contreras and Charlie Heager, you dont belong.

Man, I love Pujols, you lucky f***s. That dude is a freak of nature, and much respect to the cards and LaRussa. Crede should be up there in the GG rankings. But as long as Chavez outproduces him offensively, he will prob win it again.
May 9, 200619 yr I think if Joe puts in a solid year .275-25-90 and the White Sox win the division again, Joe will win the GG. The recognition Crede got in last year's playoffs has set him up to win the award if he produces well. Edited May 9, 200619 yr by sircaffey
May 9, 200619 yr Everytime I think about it its a bunch of bulls***..... You need offensive production for a defensive award.....Its like giving the 6th man award to Michael Jordan

May 9, 200619 yr Joe Crede equals glove of gold my friend. You are dialed into the choir when you talk of Crede and his leather

May 9, 200619 yr As long as A-Rod is putting up 40+ HRs a year and Chavez is right behind him, Crede will wind up no better than 3rd in the GG race.
May 9, 200619 yr I think the trip to the World Series, and Joe's preformance on the national stage are going to go a long way towards his winning a Gold Glove either this year or next. The politics of this are BS, but Joe seems to be putting together the "other" prerequisites that seem to be necesary to win the GG. I really believe this is his year as long as the Sox keep winning.

I really hope your right. The pace he's on is ridiculous, both at the plate and on the field.

May 9, 200619 yr Crede certainly deserves to be in the running. Even though in theory it's a defensive award, in practice a player's offense gets factored in. Crede's offense is getting better all the time. He'll never put up A-Rod numbers, but that shouldn't matter. He throws some leather over there, and in my opinion, this is the year he should win the Gold Glove.
