Gold glove finalist.

Pretty cool that a guy who was considered at one time to be more of a DH, improves his way to GG consideration.

Little surprised he got it but not Mullins but one position definitely has more competition than the other

Was anyone else a little confused by the lists of finalists.  Clearly some good guys in there, but some seemed so odd. 

 

AL 2B?

Gold Glove lists always seem to have a what is he doing on this list element.

Gold glove finalist.

In 37 games. I guess non Covid that translates to about 100 though. Better than Raffy winning that one year he only played 30 games at 1B

Joey Gallo wins for RF

Until last year, I never really considered either a GG caliber guy.

It’s kind of funny cause Gallo was always one of those guys you had to hide somewhere. Raw power like Stanton but contact rates are week and defense was a concern. Goes to show that guys can evolve and improve even in the bigs.

Santander was at 2.162 (172 days counts as a full year), so there wasn't really any question of whether or not he'd qualify.

 

Did you see what the actual cutoff was?

Sorry, I just saw Rosenthal's tweet with a list of names.  This article says it was somewhere around 2.133.

Santander has gotten better every year, and if that continues this year, the Orioles will really have something.

Santander lost his arb case.  Too bad, I was hoping the Orioles had to pay.

It feels like some of these deals were influenced by the limited ABs, which is sort of odd in a season where you only had a 60 game schedule.

I just read this at the bottom of the Roch article on Jahmai Jones (good piece) and he throws this note in at the bottom....

 

 

Note: The Orioles won their arbitration hearing with Anthony Santander, who will receive $2.1 million instead of $2.475 million. Santander would have made $572,500 in a full 2020 season.

 

The last sentence is a garbage comment.  That comment serves a purpose, you see that purpose in the reactions to the blurb in the SoR comments below.  1) It's not an incorrect comment (it is a fact) but It's an utterly unnecessary comment  2) The comment clearly slants to one position, why would we need that context to the ruling?  3)  Santander would have also made 10+M in free agency this year...but we don't include that type of a comment, right?  ....that's not the way the process works. 

 

The process is the process, I'm not actually on either side.  I don't like the garbage, team-based perception management (manipulation) of the process result.

Santander isn't part of the future IMO so hopefully he plays well enough to get a good return
