Each year, at least a handful of undeserving players take home one of MLB’s annual end-of-season awards.
Consider Jimmy Rollins’ MVP award in 2007 and Roger Clemens beating out Randy Johnson for the NL Cy Young in 2004.
Even last year, it would be hard to argue for why Torii Hunter deserved a Silver Slugger or Derek Jeter really earned his Gold Glove.
Rather than just complain about the voters’ inevitable mistakes after the fact, Bleacher Report’s Featured Columnists decided to put our money where our collective mouth is.
During the last week of the regular season, 33 FCs submitted their picks for Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers, Comeback Players of the Year, Relief Men of the Year, Rookies of the Year, Managers of the Year, Cy Youngs and Most Valuable Players in at least one of the two leagues.
Yesterday, we kicked off our four-week, 16-part series with the results of the AL Gold Glove winners. Today, we take a look at the best defenders in the Senior Circuit.
So read on, see how we did and be sure to let us know what we got wrong.
