Young's my favorite Ranger, but jeez, this is the most undeserving GG since... last year's AL SS.

Why not just start awarding the SS GG to the guy who makes the fewest errors from now on?

Yeah that might as well name it the most sure handed award because I know about 6 other shortstops in the AL with a better arm, better range, etc.

I almost broke my cell phone when I heard Young won. I like him as a Ranger & a baseball player, but despise him as a SS.

Either of you boys have ESPN Insider? Rob Neyer & Evan Grant of DMN are having a pissing contest over Young's win. Here is Grant's version, pm if you need Neyer's: DMN blog.

Gold gloves are somewhat of a joke. Remember when Palmeiro won it in '99 I believe it was as 1B for the Rangers? And he maybe played about 40 games in the field, and the rest as a DH.
