National League Gold Glove winners will be announced today. It's probably too much to expect a three-quarters-time player like Alex Cora to earn one, or even that Adrian Beltre will knock out Scott Rolen (we all know how tough it is to beat an incumbent). But if the Beethoven of the ballpark, Cesar Izturis, is denied this time around, we really might as well just give up.
Update: And there it is: Izturis wins. Rolen wins at third base, and Luis Castillo wins at second base. Izturis is the league's only first-time winner this year.
But hey - who's that winning in the outfield? None other than Steve Finley - and the Dodgers get the affiliation. Congratulations. And yet, I wonder, is Finley really a better outfielder than, say, Milton Bradley?
