Trout gold glove snub

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Another snub.

[Stradling]

I know this is sacrilegious, but he really wasn't that good defensively this year.

[sneaky_flute]

Trout sucks. I think he should be traded to Texas.

[gotbeer]

-0.8 Dwar.  

 

Or does war only count when it's something positive?

[Blarg]

Zero outfield assists.

You're not as sneaky as your name implies.

I have no problem with them using advanced metrics to not give him the GG.

They should use advanced metrics to give him the MVP though....

[Sully151]

I don't think it was a snub. He actually was spectacular defensively this year. He missed several balls in Left and looked downright silly on one or two.

Besides, he didn't even get a poster of one of his catches this year.

1.  Trout didn't deserve a Gold Glove this season.

2.  The day the gold glove is anything other than a popularity contest is the day hell freezes over

3.  Defensive metrics are still stupid.

[HaloFan85]

Snubbed last year.

Not snubbed this year.

[Troll Daddy]

Fuel for the fire next season.

That extra weight definitely had in impact on him in the field and on the bases.  I wouldn't be surprised if he comes into spring camp a lighter.

Trade him to Toronto....

[Stradling]

Trade him to Toronto....

Only if we can get an entire bullpen.

[tdawg87]

Trout would have been motivated to win the gold glove if Angry Arte didn't insult his entire family by giving him that ridiculous "raise". Yet he is perfectly happy throwing millions at aging veterans!

Stop neglecting young talent!

[Ohtaniland]

Chris Iannetta got snubbed again? Damned east coast bias!

[disarcina]

who won it instead? I'll check..........

 

Angels OF did have some 'issues' this year -- but Trout played well -- perhaps not as spectacular as the prior season.

[nate]

He was pretty average defensively this season.

By midseason he had trimmed down, and he is still an excellent defender. He didn't have a banner year defensively, but he was still good. Overall? The best in MLB.

The Gold Glove awards, like all awards, are somewhat of a joke. I remember one year Rafael Palmeiro won the GG at 1B and he only played something like 40 games there.

 

That said, Mike Trout was a very good defensive outfielder this year. He was OK, maybe even good - and certainly better than WAR would have it. But he didn't stand out like he did in 2012.

Which one was he - very good, OK, or good?  

[Blarg]

I will be polite by just saying he wasn't the best defensive outfielder this season.

[Angelsjunky]

Type. Should say "WASN'T a very good outfielder."

[Docwaukee]

I think his early season miscues hurt him.  He was very good after the first month or two with more and more spectacular plays as the season wore on.  Hopefully his offseason diet doesn't include the epic mealtime fastfood lasgana again.

So when he moved back to Center.
