Wright winning is a sham and a farce. He’s a butcher with the leather. pretty much on par with jeter winning GG’s in the past.

Jeter is better defensively than DW though.

what are you talking about? did you actually look at the stats?

compared to zimmerman, feliz played in 24 less games (for 211.2 less innings), had 105 less chances, 47 less put outs, and 46 less assists. zimmerman’s range factor was 0.16 better than feliz’, which shows that feliz did not contribute as many outs per nine innings as zimmerman did.

errors is not the only statistic determining this award, nor is it the most valid.

larry was ignored by voters because his fielding stats were even worse than wright’s. the truth of it is that zimmerman should have won the award soley based on stats (he had the best range factor, played in the most games, had the most chances, and had a very good fielding percentage – when taking altogether these stats are a very good indicator of who should win). wright won, perhaps because he is more famous. it wouldn’t be the first time a player won an award based on popularity and likeability, which is something larry won’t have to worry about because of low-class comments such as these.

As much as it’s fun to beat up Larry for his comments, Eddie Coleman said almost the same thing but in a much better way

41, this is for you.
Chipper Jones comments show exactly what kind of A-RODent he really is. DW = all class. :)

Wow. 18 comments without the “A – word”.
I think we’ve turned a corner here.
I’m a happy Mets fan….

Who cares it is a meaning less award that ultimately is decides by Rawlings… Players,coaches..have input but it’s Rawlings call…. Also if the player doesn’t use a Rawlings Glove they WILL NOT win…

David is a class act and didn’t see the need to stoop to Larry Jones level which is lower than a snake’s belly. Good for David.
don’t waste your breath on a nothing, ugly and arrogant person???
