lool. f*** it, I agree with him.

[jays_fever]

Kevin Pillar got 8 votes so he qualified for it but they give it to Cespedes lol

[wamco]

Very dumn... Pillar was a shoe in under the original criteria. Whomever came up with this idea, needs to be tarred and feathered.

The SDI points which account for 25% of the Gold Gloves now. Surprised to see Crawford ahead of Simmons, maybe it's not that bad. Turns out the most egregious of the errors would be Kinsler losing to the midget and Odubel being omitted from the ballot (with Donaldson being another notable omission)

What the hell happened to Anthony Gose? Worst CF defensively according to those rankings. In Toronto he looked really good range wise and had a pretty good arm as well.

[Jimcanuck]

jesus those KK numbers. is he the greatest defensive CF ever

[Boxcar]

How anyone can say Pillar deserves the GG is completely mystifying to me. Kiermaier is a god.

Diving catches in games one has actually seen + fielding % > great catches, amazing throws and great routes for a player they have seen 16 times max (most likely less than 9 as they didn't watch the Jays before the deadline

 

Now to get KK his Platinum!

Or they could be using the Wilson guys (traditional stats, advanced stats and Inside Edge???)

This Wilson award is terrible, now people think that Pillar got robbed out of the CF because the Wilson award was "based on stats".

Yes, Dumn!!!

Franklin Gutierrez was similar defensively in 2009 and may have been rangier, but Kiermaier logged almost 200 fewer innings this year and has the better arm.

 

Best all-time are maybe (in no particular order) Kiermaier, Gutierrez, Andruw Jones, Willie Mays, Paul Blair, Garry Maddox, Kenny Lofton.

 

Devon White was better than Kenny Lofton, not only for anyone who watched them play, but statistically as well (if you put any stock into pre-UZR stats). I'd also argue that his range at least equals Kiermaier's and was probably better with respect to his peers

How old were you when Devo played...

13, lol, but I like watching old games.

Lol plz stop quoting Grant, I can't handle that level of homerism.
