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.

Looks like SI nailed it. Zim was the hands down winner!

Kudos also to Nyjer Morgan. Looks like he wuz robbed!

I cant believe Zimmerman won. A guy sets a record for fielding percentage at 3rd and he doesnt get it? his glove is not in the HOF, but he doesnt get a gold glove? seriously? I hate how defensive awards, arent completely defensive.

Just saw this as it looks like Kevin Kouzmanoff just got traded to the Oakland Athletics:

Us A's fans are really happy about getting Kouzmanoff. I am glad that the A's have finally gotten a very solid third baseman. After they traded away prospect Brett Wallace I was wondering who would be the starting third baseman, since Chavez is always hurt
