Did they honestly give Jeff Francouer a +50? Ryan Raburn also doesn't seem to make much sense. Other than that, this looks like a legit list.

 

As for Rios, he did post a +13 in DRS this year, so maybe he should have been higher.

Why did Paulie not get consideration at 1B for at least 1 or 2 votes?

 

Because DRS had him as one of the worst 1B in all of baseball this year.

 

And this voting is heavily based on DRS (which was made by John Dewan, who is one of the voters in this, along with many other proponents to that stat).

It did seem like Paulie had a less than stellar year, at least by his standards. Made a few more mistakes than he typically does. But I'd still consider him above average, looking at the other 1B's in the league, and I'd even say he's had some years where he's been among the best.

Defensively he isnt all that great at 1B, where he excels is in saving his fielders from throwing the ball past him. That wont win him any awards though.

Taking throws is by far the most important thing a 1B does, and he excels at that. He's also very good with throws, which a lot of 1B's aren't. And usually, he's got a great sense of the field. His only weakness, really, is his range, and he makes up for part of that with good positioning.

And thats why he wont win any awards. All of the guys on the list have much better range than Konerko.
