[HollywoodLeo]

3 straight gold gloves for Krouse, 4th GG overall

[Shadow29]

I thought Matsuta had a chance to win the Cy, but I can live. Brownie should be happy with the GG he just got to put on his mantle though.

[mackjd]

3 GG is about the only silver lining in my season

[Saber]

Down year for AL rookies.

[Providence A's]

Brown wins my team's 4th RotY overall (3B Cabrera, OF Ogai, SP Boatman, and now OF Brown).

I'd still like to know what the "range" number means and how it's calculated. Kuntz has a higher range than Ferran (7 vs. 5), but Ferran's number is higher. Kuntz had more TCs, less errors and a higher fielding %, more innings and games, more POs, and the same number of assists and DPs. oh well I guess.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Every time you talk about Kuntz I laugh a little inside

[Providence A's]

well, it's actually pronounced like the author Dean Koontz (Rusty Kuntz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), but yeah...I think KoZ created him or at least had Redsfan make him back in the day.

[Porter]

I figured the HRs and RBIs would rob Mikkelson of a MVP bid despite Mikkelson's OPS being 30 points higher, his BA being 21 points higher and his RC/27 was a full run above everyone in AL. But he didn't get enough HRs (3rd with 34) or RBIs (124) to get the job done.

[BuckFoston]

3 NYY Gold Glovers. Sweet.

[Porter]

Bill Winkie had 1 error and 11 OF assists at RF and got jobbed by the Yankee RF. We need to work on that man's range.

[henks]

Back to back NL MVP's for Guizar. Nice.

[bjd2933]

I'm guessing its the immense foul territory in my ballpark helping me out, because I usually get about 2-4 gold gloves every season... Deschamp wins gold gloves almost every year. It has to be his third or fourth

[bwitty24]

Prov, does is tell you how many votes each player received? I'm curious to see how far behind Nestor was for CY.

[Kingdom]

I made Rusty Kuntz and it was Dam's idea. For the brief time I ran TSSL, I was going to award the winners by letting them name a good prospect in the following draft.
