Adam Jones wins Gold Glove

So I was on myspace and this was on my front page.

"is happy 4 my lil bro Adam Jones; He just found out he won the Golden Glove 4 his Baseball Team, the Baltimore Orioles"

http://www.myspace.com/picolemon

Anyone else see anything about it? Sweet news if true.


EDIT... Jones wins the Gold Glove! Thanks to '24HOR' for the link in post #187... http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=mlb

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?

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...

What the hell is wrong with you people? 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.

Ah, but the award is the Gold Glove, not the Golden Glove-- that's a boxing tournament.

Maybe Adam actually entered a boxing tournament, and this guy got mixed up.

Thumbs up

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.
