Gold Glove Awards Are Officially A Joke
2007-11-09 15:29:00 The fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers' Russell Martin won the Gold Glove award over St. Louis' Yadier Molina isn't just ridiculous - it's laughable. A joke. The Gold Glove awards have been lacking credibility for some time - anybody remember Rafael Palmeiro's award at first base after playing less than 30 games there? - but it's almost at the point where they should be scrapped altogether. Because really, they mean nothing.Martin is an outstanding player, and he's a much better hitter than Molina. But defensively, they're not in the same stratosphere. And with catchers, it's about more than just errors. It's holding runners on, throwing them out, calling a game, etc. In fact, I won't even have to make the argument for Molina. I'll just go ahead and let others do it for me, from both local and national viewpoints:- Bernie Miklasz, columnist, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Martin had the most errors (14) of any NL catcher. According to STATS LLC, Martin threw out only 28.7 perc...

All Defense Team
2007-09-10 13:45:00 All Defense Team With Rawlings’ recent “All-Gold-Glove” team compilation, I thought I would compile a list of the best defenders I have ever seen with my own eyes. Growing up in the Toronto area, I was fortunate to take in many games from 1985 to present day, from the old Exhibition Stadium to the current Rogers Centre. Here is a list of the best run-stealers I ever saw play. The Rawlings Gold Glove list cause a lot of controversy, such as having Griffey Jr. on the list and having Joe Morgan over Bill Mazeroski. I can’t question those picks with a clear conscience because I have never seen those players play live, which is why I came up with my own list. Keep in mind that this list is going to be fairly Toronto Blue Jay-centric as I witnessed some spectacular plays from them on a daily basis. However there may be some surprises. Catcher: Ivan Rodriguez Admittedly, the Jays did not have a lot of great defensive catchers as I was growing up. Buck Mart...

Johnny Mac for Gold Glove
2007-09-05 13:45:00 Johnny Mac for Gold Glove John McDonald should win this year’s Gold Glove award and this is why: Let me preface this article first by stating that by no means is my claim that Johnny Mac should win a gold glove empirically sound, as the nature of defensive statistics is subjective. the problem with statistical analysis on defense is that it is, by and large, as subjective as official scoring. You have 30 different statistical analysts in 30 different parks, just as you have 30 different official scorers — and you can rest assured that they don’t all have equal talents of observation, and wouldn’t all agree on how to describe every ball hit in play. This is in part because the placement of their seats can be dramatically different from park to park. A statistical analyst sitting in Camden Yards, where the press box is low, is going to have a completely different read on a line drive than the analyst in the Fenway Park pressbox, where you get a bird&#...

His 16 is tied for the most Gold Gloves with pitchers Jim Kaat and Greg Maddux since the Rawlings-sponsored award debuted… Read the full story.
