Batteries: A. Wainwright and Y. Molina

****in' ay.

First of 10 is my conservative fanboy guess.

Now, let's see 'em sign Hudson. Should have done that last year.

 

[outofplace]

Kemp? Seriously? Did these guys even watch the Dodgers play at all before voting for him? That one is even worse than Jeter.

 

[Scouter]

This Cardinals fanboi would've loved to see Brendan Ryan win it at SS, if only for his socks and 'stache. He was a stud in the field.

Wainwright isn't even the best fielding pitcher on his team. That would be Pineiro. Quite surprised by that choice.

The Brewers' Gold Glove-less streak goes on unabated.

I guess we won't discuss their World Series-less streak. :D :o

They've been in a (go **** yourself) World Series, they just didn't (go **** yourself) win it.

I just thought I'd point that out (go **** yourself) as I didn't want anyone on SJ to be confused (go **** yourself) by the way you worded (go **** yourself) it.

Furthermore (go **** yourself), though the Brewers franchise has never won a World Series (go **** yourself), and maybe, a handful of Gold Gloves (go **** yourself) at most, the 1957 Milwaukee Braves did bring the world championship to my hometown (go **** yourself).

Do you hear (go **** yourself) something? Never (go **** yourself) mind.

:D :D :D

I loved the '57 Braves kicking some Yankees ass.
'82 Brew Crew was a pretty fun bunch, too.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

**** that 82 team.

 

[RayKinsella]

Zimmerman - 17 errors
Kouzmanoff - 3 errors.

Since when did ultimate zone rating matter?

 

[Moderator1]

Zimmerman gets to about twice as many balls as Kouzmanoff. Easier to have fewer errors if you just stand there and field what comes to you!
So there. I don't sound like a fanboy or anything.

As a non-Nats fanboy, I'll back Moddy up on this one. I'd be willing to bet a lot of those errors Zimmerman had came on plays where Kouzmanoff wouldn't even get near the ball.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Actually they were on throws that Kouzmanoff wouldn't make, because he wouldn't have gotten to the ball.

**** that 82 team.

Willie McGee did if I remember correctly.

EDIT: I just checked the stats, and his were good, not great.

 

[SnoopyBoy]

Bourn is spectacular. Well-deserved.

 

[spnited]

Kouzmanoff 311 total chances; Zimmerman 459 total chances.

Seems like Kouzmanoff was watching a lot of balls bounce into left field.

Washington pitchers probably faced 40% more hitters because they could get anyone out. :)

While San Diego kicked a lot of ass.
Oh wait.

I like Kouzmanoff. Given a choice, would anyone really take him over Zimmerman? Yeah, me being a fanboy again. But Zimmerman is one Nat you can truly gush over without shame.

 

[spnited]

Your gushing over Zimmerman knows no shame...but at least he is a very good player.
Hard to say that about too many Nats.

 

[93Devil]

Zimmerman is the face of the franchise - Va Beach to UVA to DC.

He should be a lifer in DC. If the Nats are too pitiful to root for at least you can root for Zimm.

The Pirates tried to do the same thing with Neil Walker, but he sucks and probably will never be a decent major leaguer.
