Gold Gloves
November 7, 2007
Mazel Tov to Youks, the OC, and DLee on their richly deserved gold gloves. I’m thrilled for Youks, as he absolutely deserves this award and I never thought he’d get it. I have my issues with Boston fans severely overrating Cabrera, but his defense has always been solid to spectacular, and he’s about 5 million times more deserving than Captain Intangibles. And I’ve been fond of Derrek Lee as a player and as a mensch since 2004, when I followed the Cubs for 1 1/2 years.
Coco was robbed though. Not that Ichiro, Torii Hunter, and Grady Sizemore were bad choices, but Coco was better than EVERYONE this year.
