Crawford deserved to be on the OF list. Probably Markakis too.

The infield looks about right. Perhaps Aybar at SS.

You're not going to win a GC missing 53 games, especially when you haven't won before.

 

[Captain Hook]

Riddle me this............for the Gold Glove awards........WHY aren't they designated by LF, CF and RF????

Again they give the three Gold Gloves in the OF to three centerfielders, which makes no sense.

How many teams play three centerfielders?

:(Doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't deserve it though. But I guess we should know that deserving candidates lose quite often.Somewhat on point, but it reminds of the time that Palmeiro won a GG and only played 28 games (or so) at 1B.

That was a travesty, but IMO Ellsbury was more deserving than Crawford and didn't get it either. He played all 3 OF positions and did not make an error all year. But as you said, there are a lot of OFers . . .

I never understood this as well, so why not give out 4 gold gloves to 4 different shortstops? Almost the same thing, isn't it? Stupid and unfair IMO.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Boy the shortstop position is really weak in the AL. At first glance, I thought it was outlandish that Young won, but there is really no where else to go with that Award.

Congrats to Carlos Pena, who won the first Gold Glove in Rays team history.

So which of those three do you take the GG from to make room for Crawford?

Easily Ichiro and Hunter, and probably even Sizemore.Crawford, Gutierrez and and I suppose you would have to give the third to a center fielder, so probably Sizemore or Gomez.

I'd agree with you that Hunter & Suzuki are getting theirs because of their rep. If any of these three deserved a GG, it's Sizemore.
