November 6, 200718 yr American League: Torii Hunter (7), Ichiro Suzuki (7), Grady Sizemore (1) Adrian Beltre (1), Orlando Cabrera (1), Placido Polanco (1), Kevin Youkliss (1) Ivan Rodriguez (13), Johan Santana (1) National League: Andruw Jones (10), Carlos Beltran (2), TIE: Aaron Rowand (1), Jeff Francouer (1) David Wright (1), Jimmy Rollins (1), Orlando Hudson (3), Derek Lee (3) Russell Martin (1), Greg Maddux (17) Jeter's reign of terror is over, GRINDER GOD wins his first, Beltre is finally awarded for his defensive prowess, Greg Maddux rules the world and Torii Hunter and Andruw Jones continue to win on reputation alone.
November 6, 200718 yr Not a whole lot of glaring omissions like last year leaving out Adam Everett. These actually look halfway decent and deserved, except for Hunter who is still getting by on reputation. Either Coco Crisp or Granderson would've been better choices.
November 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) I honestly dont like Youk getting one. agreed.
November 6, 200718 yr So that's Johan's lifetime achievement pitching award? You win enough Cy Youngs, you graduate to the gold glove?
November 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) GRINDER GOD wins his first He has found favor in the eyes of the curs-ed media. Since he has won, he is no longer a grinder. Grinder rule #235: Grinders don't receive Gold Gloves, only Gold Stitches.

November 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 08:18 AM) Guy didnt make an error all season...thats gotta count for something Not as much as you would think.
November 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 10:35 AM) Not as much as you would think. exactly....fielding percentage is so horridly overrated.... rob neyer wrote a really good article on espn insider about this years gold gloves....i can't reasonably believe that people are willing to give the ROY to tulowitzski over braun because of his defense , but still wont vote tulo for gold glove?

Well, that might say something more about how bad Braun is than how good Tulo is.
November 9, 200718 yr Author The Silver Slugger Award winners were announced today. C Russell Martin 1B Prince Fielder 2B Chase Utley SS Jimmy Rollins 3B David Wright OF Carlos Beltran OF Matt Holliday OF Carlos Lee P Micah Owings C Jorge Posada 1B Carlos Pena 2B Placido Polanco SS Derek Jeter 3B Alex Rodriguez OF Vladimir Guerrero OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Magglio Ordonez DH David Ortiz. Jimmy Rollins over Hanley Ramirez is a joke. It's almost as bad as Alex Rodriguez losing out to a vastly inferior player in 2006.
