4/9 isn't too shabby. If there was justice, the same would happen to the Marlins tomorrow. (Derek Lee, Castillo, A-Gone, Pudge)

I bet Furcal gets Gold Glove for SS in the NL, and rightfully so.

They fixed it, but for awhile on mlb.com it said Torri Hunter was a Marnier, that was funny. I'm just hoping Maddux keeps his streak of gold gloves when the NL is announced tommorow.

I looked into what Win Shares ranked as the best fielders. Its not a perfect method, but its the best statistical method out there.

 

C- Ramon Hernandez

1B- John Olerud

2B- Orlando Hudson

SS- Jose Valentin

3B- Eric Chavez

OF- Mike Cameron, Torii Hunter, Carlos Beltran

 

A few points here. First off, Molina led by rate, but misses out because he missed time in September. Had he played more, he would've led all catchers.

 

John Olerud's leading first basemen is an indicator that his winning the gold glove is legit.

 

Ichiro led among right fielders.

 

Carlos Beltran is easily the most unheralded star in the majors.

Let me guess this is fielding % and errors more than anything. What about range, what about balls picked out of the dirt, the number of throwing errors saved?

 

If you saw Dougie M everynight scooping Koskie or Guzman's throw out of the dirt, you'd understand why this bothers me. Honestly it's not Olerud, he's good. But Dougie M is so much better in terms of doing more things well with the glove.

The voting is done by the players in each league. Rules are you can only vote for players in the league you play in and you can't vote for team-mates.

The full explanation runs around a hundred pages or so. The gist of it is this. Fielding statistics such as assists and double plays are essentially worthless because bad teams look just as good as good teams, because you always get 24-27 outs regardless of your performance. Win Shares starts with a team's runs allowed total, divides them between pitching and fielding, and breaks down the fielding between individual fielders. Its not a perfect system, but its better than most of what's out there.

Shhh...Don't tell all the Canadians, Halladay didn't win the Gold Glove, their likely to riot.

Since most of them don't care about baseball and are occupied with the Maple Leafs(in Toronto that is) if you were to tell one of them that they would look at you funny and say "There's no Gold Glove in Hockey, aye"
