yeah, but I find it silly how Wilson does the platinum and Rawlings does the gold glove. Just seems repetitive.
Plus iirc, there were platinum winners that didn't get a gold glove, which was weird af imo
I agree that it needs an overhaul, but still gotta recognize the defensive players. It's gotten better. A lot of voters are turning to the analytics like UZR and DRS among others
Here are some of MLBTR's predictions
1. Yu Darvish - Cubs (6 Years, 160 Million)
2. J.D. Martinez - Red Sox (6 Years, 150 Million)
3. Eric Hosmer - Royals (6 Years, 132 Million)
4. Jake Arrieta - Brewers (4 Years, 100 Million)
5. Masahiro Tanaka - Phillies (5 Years, 100 Million)
6. Mike...
Hosmer conveniently had a career year in his walk year first of all. Remember, he's a year removed from putting up a -0.1 WAR. Throw in a .351 BABIP.
Secondly, his defense is massly overrated. The only reason he gets such a good rep is because he's among the best at picks. I'm not paying a guy...
