November 3, 200619 yr NEW YORK ? (AP) ? Greg Maddux won his 16th Gold Glove on Friday, tying the record shared by pitcher Jim Kaat and third baseman Brooks Robinson. Maddux, traded from the Chicago Cubs to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 31, has won the NL pitching award each year since 1990 except for 2003, when Atlanta's Mike Hampton interrupted the streak. Kaat won AL Gold Gloves for pitchers from 1962-75, then won the NL award the following two years. Robinson was honored as the AL's best fielder at third base from 1960-75. Rawlings has presented Gold Gloves annually since 1957 based on voting by managers and coaches before the end of the regular season. They may not select players on their own teams, and they vote only for players in their own league. San Francisco shortstop Omar Vizquel won his 11th Gold Glove, his second in a row in the NL after the nine straight he earned with the Cleveland Indians from 1993-01. He is two shy of the record for shortstops, held by Ozzie Smith. Atlanta center fielder Andruw Jones won his ninth consecutive Gold Glove. Among outfielders, he trails only Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays (12 each) and Al Kaline and Ken Griffey Jr. (10 apiece). St. Louis third baseman Scott Rolen won his seventh Gold Glove, his first since 2004. Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols won for the first time, as did New York Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran. Houston catcher Brad Ausmus won his third award, his first since 2002. San Diego center fielder Mike Cameron won for the third time ? he earned Gold Gloves in the AL with Seattle in 2001 and 2003. Second baseman Orlando Hudson won with Arizona after gaining the honor for the first time with Toronto last year. Beltran and Vizquel each earned $100,000 bonuses, while Cameron, Pujols and Rolen got $50,000 apiece. Ausmus gets a $25,000 bonus. The List: P: Greg Maddux, LA Dodgers C: Brad Ausmus, Houston 1B: Albert Pujols, St. Louis 2B: Orlando Hudson, Arizona SS: Omar Vizquel, San Francisco 3B: Scott Rolen, St. Louis OF: Andruw Jones, Atlanta OF: Carlos Beltran, NY Mets OF: Mike Cameron, San Diego Hmmm....intresting list I guess.....
November 3, 200619 yr Hatteberg or Nomar should've won gold glove at first Jamey Carrol should've won at second the outfielders should've been Juan Pierre, Eric Byrnes, and Brad Hawpe the other four they got right I'm just glad they stopped drinking the Jim Edmonds Kool-Aid...now, if they can only do the same with Derek Jeter and Andruw Jones
November 3, 200619 yr Andruw Jones was arguably the finest defensive outfielder in the game. He used to be, but he's been lousy defensively for the last five years Just like Derek Jeter, he's a below average defensive player who misses more of the easy plays than anyone, but makes a flashy play every now and then and that's all people look at
November 3, 200619 yr you might be the only person in the world who would pick juan pierre over andruw jones
November 3, 200619 yr you might be the only person in the world who would pick juan pierre over andruw jones 162 games, 0 errors not to mention he led all NL centerfielders in zone rating.., he had the best glove of any NL player this year
November 3, 200619 yr Jamey Carrol should've won at second the outfielders should've been Juan Pierre, Eric Byrnes, and Brad Hawpe that's sad

Jeez I've heard of not giving someone credit where its due but that is absolutley rediculous.

As much as I hate to admit it, Jones has been one of the greatest outfielders in the league for years and will continue to be. He had an excellent year this year both at the plate and on the field. He 100% deserves the GG.

November 4, 200619 yr JP is not even in the same league as Andruw defensively...sorry BTW Tori Hunter is better than Andruw Jones with the leather
November 4, 200619 yr 1. Hatteberg or Nomar should've won gold glove at first 2. Jamey Carrol should've won at second 3. the outfielders should've been Juan Pierre, Eric Byrnes, and Brad Hawpe 4. the other four they got right 5. I'm just glad they stopped drinking the Jim Edmonds Kool-Aid...now, if they can only do the same with Derek Jeter and Andruw Jones 1. i'd give it to nomar, but pujols played well with the glove 2. who? 3. :blink: are u kidding? 4. yes, but molina should of won it for catcher 5. Edmonds has slowed down a bit, but I strongly disagree w/ your perceptions of DJ and Andruw. wow.
November 5, 200619 yr Pierre better then Jones are you kidding? Even Abercrombie is better then Pierre.
November 5, 200619 yr Pierre better then Jones are you kidding? Even Abercrombie is better then Pierre. You killed it.
November 5, 200619 yr Pierre better then Jones are you kidding? Even Abercrombie is better then Pierre. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Now that's a joke.
November 10, 200619 yr Wow, I can't believe Rolen won the GG, I am surprised the media didn't step in to $uck Wrights **ck... lol Cameron has always been good in the OF, why do you think teams still actually consider this guy as a major league ball player? Because he can sometimes hit more then 20 HR's despite struggling to ever hit over .270? Pierre better then Jones are you kidding? Even Abercrombie is better then Pierre. Yea, that really wasn't needed. That was like pushing a retarded kid down the stairs.
