    Last year for QUALIFYING AL 1Bs, Moreland WAS 2nd in AL with 7 DRS, his UZR WAS 1st at 6.7, his UZR/150 WAS 1st at 9.2, and his RnGR WAS 1st at 5.0. So all four of those were right. Now, if we expand it to players with only 700 or more innings, 13 AL 1Bs show up; however, three of Morelands ranks stay the same, the only one that changes is RnGR from 1st to 2nd. So the paragraph WAS right cause these ranking have to include players who played enough for the ranking to mean anything. Park barely had 200 innings at 1B, and Shaw didn't reach 300 innings. Voters SHOULDN"T take their performances into any kind of consideration nor should anyone doing an article. Gold glove consideration for only 162 innings for position players would be a HORRIBLE idea. That's not even 20 games.

    exactly

    Either way, point is the same. If you remember people were minimizing/discarding the defense value of thee WAR, say, Sano/Hunter when the metrics were bringing down the perceived value of both. And in some cases, Rosario this year.

    We could just call it fake news :-)

    Is everyone now all in favor of using Fangraphs' WAR (which uses the ever controversial defensive metric gobbly-gook that boosts Buxton so far up) cause it shows how great Buxton is? Even posters who are so against advanced stats (especially defensive metrics that supposedly get overvalued and miscalculated), being used in any baseball argument :-) Seriously, Buxton has been great and is a valuable player. It's fun to watch him and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

    For some reason, three going away lunches at Olive Garden have been held for people in my office in the last year. I get soup and salad. Never order an actual meal.
  8. jimmer
    yeah, I can't eat Olive Garden's Chicken Parm either. I actively avoid Olive Garden. I've heard they get meals prepackaged and just defrost or heat some of their main meals up.
  9. jimmer
    Thanks. I don't eat fast food, but I like Chicken Parm so I was curious.
  10. jimmer
    Anyone try the new Chicken Parm sandwich at Burger King?
  11. jimmer
    He's certainly working his way there, no? Already a fantastic defender and hopefully the hitting continues. Fun to watch.
  12. jimmer
    It's improvement.
  13. jimmer
    yes
  14. jimmer
    I appreciate the productive response. It was just a question, asking other people's opinion about a play in the game. Is that something else we can't do in game thread?
  15. jimmer
    ok, cool, thanks.
  16. jimmer
    He is truly an amazing defender. I've heard/read some say he's the best defensive CF they have ever seen out there. Not sure I'm there yet, because I've seen some great defensive play in CF, but he's awesome. Imagine what our pitching staff numbers would look like without him
  17. jimmer
    ok. I looked at it a couple times, and I still don't see it. Even if he didn't have to, it was still a great catch.
  18. jimmer
    Did Buxton really need to leave his feet there? Seems many OF go out of their way to make catches look more spectacular than they are.
  19. jimmer
    25% of the award includes SDI, which is likely a big reason why most (not all) of the gold gloves nowadays can at least be argued as being correctly awarded.
  20. jimmer
    Moreland leads the AL 1B in DRS and is 4th in UZR. Not sure a bad year. Mauer is 3rd in DRS and 1st in UZR (but also has 100 less innings played). Hosmer has never deserved a gold glove yet somehow...
  21. jimmer
    SDI accounts for 25% of the voting
  22. jimmer
    Yeah, Mauer's hitting didn't slowly but steadily fall off thee cliff. He got the concussion (not his fault) and his hitting fell sharply afterwards.
  23. jimmer
    exactly and thank you! The idea a player deserves the blame for lineup construction is laughable. Players arent responsible for lineup construction or active roster construction.
  24. jimmer
    i think its probable that even if Joe stays put the guy is safe, but yeah. Someone needed to cover.no one expected a bunt.
  25. jimmer
    Yup, Joe finally makes his 1st error in over a year. Ball goes in and out of his glove, like the double hit by the Texas player that went in and out of Rosarios glove.
