KANSAS CITY -- Left fielder Alex Gordon and right fielder Jeff Francoeur are
the only Royals among the finalists for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
Shortstop Alcides Escobar, who had a spectacular season defensively after
being obtained from the Brewers in the Zack Greinke trade, was not an
American League finalist.
For the first time since the Gold Glove Awards were established in 1957,
three finalists in each league were announced for each position and a winner
will be picked for each of the three outfield positions instead of three
outfielders overall. Another first: The winners will be announced on ESPN2 at
9 p.m. CT on Tuesday.
Gordon, a converted third baseman, led the Major Leagues with 20 outfield
assists, and Francoeur tied for second with 16 as the Royals' defense
improved markedly. Francoeur's 97 assists since 2005 are by far the most in
the Majors.
Gordon gets competition from the Yankees' Brett Gardner and the Rays' Sam
Fuld. Francoeur is joined by the Orioles' Nick Markakis and the Angels' Torii
Hunter as the top three in right.
The Gold Gloves are selected by a vote of each league's managers and coaches.
At the AL shortstop position, Escobar was bypassed in favor of the Angels'
Erick Aybar, the Indians' Asdrubal Cabrera and the Orioles' J.J. Hardy. Also
left out was five-time winner Derek Jeter of the Yankees.
Escobar殘念沒入選~~
Gordon今年擁有大聯盟第一的20助殺，粉酷則是第二的16次
希望今年可以一起得獎!!!!
