Yes and no. It's also most often a popularity contest where guys tend to win it many years in a row. Correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't Torii Hunter won it a bunch of times lately? |

p.s. Does Adam have an older brother? Maybe this guy is him.

Haha, I believe that is how it works. Remember when Palmeiro won it despite playing something like 30 games in the field.

Honestly, I think the majority of us underrate his glove...think of how many times he robbed home runs/made diving grabs this year...he really has the ability to make some great plays in the field that most others couldn't...all while blowing a bubble...

If this is true and an Oriole finally won a GG of course the voters got it right. For cripes sake, the dumb voter whine is only good when an Oriole is bypassed!!!![]()

This is hard to believe. I like Adam, but his defense was not GG caliber this season.

Tori Hunter has won the GG the past 7 years, Ichiro the past 8 along with Sizemore last 2 years, Vernan Wells 3 years before that, and Mike Cameran before that. I think it's safe to say they were all pretty good OF, if not the absolute best. Jones wasn't in their class this year.
