[QUOTE="Lugnutz, post: 5242540, member: 603567"] The gold glove is a bullshit award. Pedroia's fielding percentage, range factor, and zone rating were worse then Polanco's who won the award in 07 based on offense. If Polanco was good enough in 07 to win the award, he should've been good enough to win it in 08. It just goes to show that playing on a good team and putting up good offensive numbers equates to a gold glove. Runs scored? That is a team stat, dependant on guys like Manny, Bay, Ortiz to drive him in. Take away those sluggers and Pedroia doesn't lead the league in runs scored. Sure he's deserving of the silver slugger, but MVP? Christ Jermaine Dye had a better Slugging percentage and OPS, with more home runs. The best season at 2nd base in a long time? Did you watch baseball in 07? did you miss Polanco's 07 season? Roberto Alomar? Jeff Kent? Robinson Cano? First Albert Pujols is Michael Jordan now Pedroia is the next great 2nd basemen in recent memory? [/QUOTE]
