LONGORIA AND PENA FOR GOLD GLOVE?

by LONGO4PREZ08 on Aug 12, 2008 1:03 AM EDT

I must say they both deserve it in my mind.

AL Gold Glove's in my opinion

1st Base: Carlos Pena

2nd Base: Ian Kinsler

3rd Base: Evan Longoria

Shortstop: Nick Punto

Right Field: Jermaine Dye

Center Field: Grady Sizemore

Left Field: Carlos Quenten

Well some of these are completer blanks because i blacked out well anyways i wanna hear yours.

P.S. Does anyone know if hellixon is going to 3A this month. Or later?

Ian Kinsler?

This is GG not SS right?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

wow, is this sarcasm?

Ian Kinsler is one of the worst fielders at second base. The same for Quentin in the outfield, and Dye is below average, too.

Longoria’s at least above average, but Scott Rolen and Adrian Beltre have been fantastic with the glove.

And I know Pena has the reputation and love from Rays fans as a good fielder, but the stats don’t back that up. That might be wrong, but I think it should go to Youkilis or Kotchman.

In center, Sizemore’s a good choice, as Granderson seems to have slipped this year. Historically, Granderson’s a stud. The other option is Carlos Gomez.

Top AL fielders, by an average of STATS and BIS zone ratings (not that this is the end-all of the discussion):
