Gold Glove predictions. I hate awards season.
I made some NL Gold Glove predictions in a conversation with a friend this morning. The announcement of the winners should be coming down in about ten minutes. Here are my predictions:
Pitcher – Adam Wainwright
Catcher – Yadier Molina
1st Baseman – Albert Pujols
2nd Baseman – Chase Utley
3rd Baseman – Ryan Zimmerman
SS – Troy Tulowitzki
OF – Michael Bourn
OF – Andres Torres
OF – Shane Victorino
These don’t mean who I think is the most deserving, but who I think will win. I’m shakiest on the 1B and OF picks, although who really cares? Derek Jeter won again; the Gold Gloves don’t actually signify that someone is the best fielder. I think Torres is probably too unknown to actually win, but he was a feel-good story and was good offensively. I hate the Gold Gloves.
