from stude's fielding awards: (i thought it was interesting)
Quote:
It's not only postseason chase time, it's awards time. Lots of folks are proclaiming their choices for MVP (my picks: Derek Jeter and Carlos Beltran; yeah, yeah, I have an East Coast bias) and Cy Young (my picks: Johan Santana and Brandon Webb) awards.


too bad the dude doesn't have a vote. also:

second base:
Quote:
But my vote for the best NL second sacker goes to Chase Utley, who was only a bit behind Valentin in range, turns the double play better, and was third overall in 2005. Historical consistency counts. Honorable mention goes to the Rockies' Jamey Carroll. Statistically, Orlando Hudson had a bit of an off year, though I expect him to pick it back up in 2007.


shortstop:
Quote:
Houston's Adam Everett, for instance, gets my vote as best defensive shortstop anywhere. Everett was the star of the Fielding Bible, and he's continued to show phenomenal range this year. But the Rockies' Clint Barmes has also had a fine year in the field (the longer Coors grass has probably helped him a bit), and so has Craig Counsell. Counsell was a fine shortstop two years ago, and the number-one second baseman last year in Dewan's plus/minus system. Stephen Drew's 2006 was about average overall, so the Diamondbacks will be giving up something in the field with their transition to Drew.


strangely, no mention of tracy at 3b...

next year, think young will beat out jones for cf? think quentin might win rf?

Not really. The reason I don't think Young or Quentin will get any mention is because it will still be hard to get anyone to pay any attention to the Diamondbacks unless they're dominating. Maybe we'll get a well deserved web gem or two while playing the AL East?

His awards are "numbers based"....not Media based.

If they play that well according to the numbers, they'll be mentioned.

My bad, then. When he asked if Young would be out Jones I automatically thought of the gold glove award.
