Re: Ryan Zimmerman gets his 1st Gold Glove!
Brooks Robinson also said a buddy of mine would never be a good 3rd baseman in the major leagues.....needless to say...he won 6 straight gold gloves prior to getting hurt and missing lots of time over the last few years. I personally think Kouz should have won...and i think he is a total douchebag...but thats just me. 3 errors to 17 errors....that says enough to me.

Re: Ryan Zimmerman gets his 1st Gold Glove!
So basically the ESPN Web Gem people and the voters are wrong because you believe the only criteria is fielding percentage.
This isn't like the Batting Average title that is based on the highest batting averages once you reached the minimum at-bats.
UZR and Zim's degree of difficulty and great glove got him the award and maybe that is why it is called the golden glove vs. the golden arm because 14 of his 17 errors was on throws.
Watch the video how talented this kid is:

Re: Ryan Zimmerman gets his 1st Gold Glove!
This is a link to the Sports Illustrated article on "who should have won the Gold Gloves".....

SI didn't agree with many, but they did agree they got it right with Ryan Zimmerman. Here was the big shocker to me. 2nd place to Casey Blake so should we assume Kevin Kouzmanoff wasn't even close?

After reading many articles on the Gold Glove, the UZR is now a huge factor in total voting which is also why Derek Jeter seems to have won his Gold Glove.
