lol. No but Soto is ridiculous and I thought they were supposed to have fixed this a few years ago when they started to take analytics into account. I know there have been some crazy nominations but I can't think of a worse one off the top of my head. 

The one folks go to is Raffy winning won for First when he was a DH.

Jeter won five.
 

If Soto win it will be that level bad but as of right now he's only finished in the top three.

That was the last straw? Did you just start following baseball?

Juan Soto is RF???? You've got to be kidding me. The GG just lost all legitimacy for me. He is absolutely atrocious! He is one of the worst fielders in the MLB.

How often do relief pitchers get nominated?  All three of the nominees are starters I think (not sure on Canning but I think so, too lazy to look it up)

They don't.

I still think he was the best defensive pitcher in the league.

I do remember those and they were horrible. But I had hoped they fixed that kind of stuff. It's not just at the pro level. When I coached JuCo ball, we had a kid win the Rawlings GG at 3rd base and he had exactly 0 innings there. He had 12 innings at 1B and the rest DH. As an aside, our 1B won the GG too.

If he wins I'll mock them for it.

Top 3?  Whatever.  No one remembers who the nominees are five minutes after the award goes out.

Cano got jobbed.

He wasn't eligible. 

Only pitchers with 138 innings pitched in their team's first 138 games are eligible, so obviously no relievers, and only about 30 starters per league are eligible.

Gold glove awards have been a farce for years.

Thanks for this detail.  That's kind of a lame rule.

That's Soto's first nomination ever.  Tell me again how there's no Yankee bias in crap like this.  He goes to the Yanks, plays ever-worsening defense, and gets a GG nomination.  Laughable.

This is irritating me way more than it should, LOL.

      Option decisions …

      By e16bball · Posted

      The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.

      If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options

      Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.

      Garcia is getting some pub from different spots.  Could be a major riser.

      They did guarantee his arbitration years but they didn’t add any years to their control.

      Tis' the season for over the top, which should end around Opening Day... Sign Bregman, move Westburg back to 2B.  Lose O'Hearn and make Kjerstad the LH platoon at 1B along with Mountcastle.  Holliday quickly transitions to CF (because if Merrill can do it, naturally so can Holliday) and Mullins is in RF along with a RHB 1-year FA stopgap while Mayo learns RF in Norfolk.  Henderson, Rutschman, Cowser no change. If someone brings up the subject of defense, kindly look the other way.
