3B Moustakas - Royals

What do I think?

This right here made me laugh.

My question is the fact does Ramirez qualify as a 3B since he only played 88 games there?

I am not a voter, but it is hard for me to count someone as a 3B if they dont play over 100 games there.

There is no qualifier for that.

Guys have won Silver Sluggers at positions when they've only played like 200 innings at that spot before.

Jose has played more innings at 3B than 2B this year, and by almost a 200 inning gap. He's going to be a 3B for awards. He smokes Mouth-stakas for that award.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Houston wins. Magic number remains at 1 (after tonight's Indians win)

Just to put you at ease...

Joe Mauer - AL C Silver Slugger in 2013.

75 games as a C, 658 innings played at C.

There is no qualifier for that.

Gotcha! I did my guesses based off of actual amount of time at 3B. If there was a qualifying amount of Innings it would be to Moustakas to take it.

No way Jose isn't put into the 3B pool for award season...

Where else would they put him, if you weren't considering him a 3B?

He's a qualified hitter, that's all that matters with the SS award, so he has to be in a spot...where else could he have gone?

Those are rhetorical questions.

 

[Otsego Mar]

I think Tito gets an award, and so does Kluber.

I'd like to think Ramirez and Lindor end up top 5 in MVP vote.....maybe one wins.

No way Tito wins.

Paul Molitor locked all coaches awards up when the Twins clinched.

Kluber is a lock for AL Cy Young.

Indians will have 3 players in the top 10 for MVP voting. None will win though, though I think Kluber does if he doesn't miss those 4 starts.

I get what ya mean, I just wasn't sure about if there was like an AB or inning type of limit to qualify for SS and GG awards. I couldn't see any rules for it, but I felt it was best until I confirmed something from someone who knows more than I do.

What did you think about my Gold Glove winners? I am not as experienced with advanced defensive metrics so I am going by what I felt was right. Sorry I know I am asking you a bunch of question, but I want to learn more if possible from someone who actually knows his stuff.

Not bad.

I think Mauer wins at 1B. Really, can't go wrong with Mauer, Santana, or Moreland...all of them are deserving.

And I'd maybe put Alex Gordon over Brett Gardner, though its hard to overlook a 1.000 fielding percentage.

I didnt think Gardner had the best sabermetrics to me, but like you said its hard to say no to a guy with over 1000 innings without any errors.

Lindor sadly doesnt get top 5 in MVP vote, but Kluber and Ramirez will both likely get votes for top 5.
