The obvious outlier there is Jones, who wasn’t a very good pick, but beyond
that, you’re looking at double digit positive numbers from both systems for
every winner besides Wieters. This year, the Gold Gloves went to seven elite
defensive players (plus the pitchers, who we don’t really have good data
for) and Adam Jones. Maybe you like Dustin Pedroia more than Robinson Cano,
or Brendan Ryan more than JJ Hardy, but hopefully we can all admit that we don
’t know enough about defense to argue that one great defender was
definitively better than another great defender. The metrics we have, and the
games we watch, should give us enough confidence to say that a player is
likely good or bad with the glove, but when it comes to separating players
within those groups, we should probably step back and say “hey, they’re all
good choices”.
美聯部分 除了Adam Jones不好之外 其他的選擇都很不錯
Even in the NL, where Carlos Gonzalez got an award he almost certainly didn’
t deserve, most of the picks are pretty good. Darwin Barney and Jason Heyward
are both good selections, and both are first time winners who didn’t make
the flashy plays that you’d expect from a young player getting recognition
early in his career. Yadier Molina is awesome. Adam LaRoche had to try and
catch Ryan Zimmerman‘s throws across the diamond, which more often than not
involved keeping the ball from hitting a random fan in the face.
國聯的Carlos Gonzalez不好 但其他人都不錯 特別是年輕人像Barney/Heyward
能在菜鳥時期得到肯定很不錯
Adam Jones and Carlos Gonzalez weren’t good picks, but they were the
exception, not the rule. Instead of focusing on the few they got wrong, how
about we congratulate the managers on getting most of them right? That’s a
lot more than we used to be able to say about the Gold Gloves.
除了兩個很差的選擇外 其他人選都很好 何不給票選一點肯定呢?
