Simmons finalist for GG

[Tapate50]

Along with Tulo, and Ian Desmond.

In other news, the sky is usually blue and women like expensive things.

Heyward, Parra, and Jay bruce for RF.

 

[Enscheff]

If Simmons doesn'y win then the GG award is completely pointless. Heyward may not have played enough in RF if that is even a consideration.

 

[The Tariff King]

Simmons may not win because his OBP wasn't high enough.

Didn't Palmeiro (sp?) win it at 1B one year despite playing less than 100 games there?

I believe it was a lot less than 100 games.

 

[cajunrevenge]

It was 28 games.

For the first time a sabermetric defensive index will count as part of the vote, with 25% weight.

How about BA, OBP, or OPS?

 

[cajunrevenge]

That's the other 75

Ian Desmond? For real?

Cozart is a better defender, but I don't expect the voters to know that.

And I hope Heyward wins it cause I'm a Braves fan, but with his missed time, Parra should.

That's good to know. The gold glove voting is known for being quite atrocious. This is one award that I think sabermetrics should count for 100% of the vote, even though I don't know that defensive stats are extremely accurate. It's just the voting for the award has been awful at times.

Oso Blanco get the nod for LF?
