Chris Davis Gold Glove?

[Natty]

Yea they keep saying it. Even Buck said it, and tonight Bordick said it again. I just don't see it. Don't get me wrong, Davis does make some nifty plays at 1st. But he has missed a few pickoff throws and sharp grounders right at him. But man he has trouble with the short hop throws to him.

What say you about Davis playing gold glove first base.

[Bird Dog]

I think you're watching a different first baseman than I am.....I think he's as good as I've ever seen at the short hop throws.....I think he's a gold glove first baseman for sure.

Maybe he'll win it, but who knows? The Gold Glove is a joke.

Eric Hosmer might be the worst defensive player in baseball and he's won 3 straight Gold Gloves.

His 4 errors will hurt him, I would think Moreland would be in lead but never know on gold glove.

Under rated with the glove and a good dude to boot. He took over the Casey Cares charity work that Markakis and Matusz had done before. He's a class act.

[O's84]

If he has .900+ OPS he has a good shot at winning it.

I've been thinking that Chris Davis should get a Gold Glove at first. Many people see his offense, but he's been pretty nifty playing 1B.

[Aristotelian]

He is great at picking balls in the dirt and making throws to second. He does have 4 errors already this season, which is a lot for him (3 in 2015, 4 in 2014). dWAR has him at +0.2.

I don't see him as a spectacular defender, but he is very good and could win a GG in a weak field without an obvious leading candidate.

He's worse than Pedro, Parades and Ortiz?

And yes I read the recent Fangraphs piece.

[Tx Oriole]

Would like to see CD win a GG.

Those guys don't really play defense, though. Pedro and Ortiz are DHs and Paredes is DFA every other week.

I'll say that Hosmer is the worst defensive player that consistently gets playing time on defense.

That is a much more defensible position.

Definitely pleased with Davis' growth there. He's thrown home on force plays and bunts a few times with precision. Not an easy play but one the team clearly works on where they crash the infields and Schoop covers first.

[Natty]

Lol. I hope someone else just saw that routine double play grounder hit right to Davis. That was one of the most clumsy plays you will ever see. He fell flat on his butt but did somehow manage to recover and get the runner at first by tossing the ball to the pitcher covering first. Golden glover Not. But it was funny.
