[Fat Tony]

Addison Russell was the best defensive 2nd basemen in baseball this year.

 

[JUMPER]

My boi Brandon Crawford. He definitely deserved it.

 

[Panic!]

Andrelton Simmons was robbed.

 

[Stray32]

Andrelton Simmons was robbed.

Agreed, Boogie has no idea what he's talking about since he doesn't watch baseball. Everyone who watches knows it should have been Andrelton, waiting for lbf to come in and say whatever he has to say about Andrelton getting robbed/traded

I'm also biased but I personally think (as somebody who watches just as much Royals baseball as Tigers since I live in MO) Iglesias should've been the AL Gold Glove as well
