The-Legend-Of-Pujols Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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?

thatballhitdeep Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see someone from Cardinals territory here. But, yeah, unless his stick is good, you can forget about him getting a gold glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) 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.

DABearSoX Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
