ESPN2 to Televise First-Ever Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Show | ESPN MediaZone

ESPN2 will televise the first-ever Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Show – emanating from ESPN’s Baseball Tonight studio in Bristol – Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 10 p.m. ET. The one-hour telecast, hosted by Baseball Tonight’s Karl Ravech with analysts John Kruk and Barry Larkin (a three-time Gold Glove winner – 1994, 1995, 1996), will include the announcement of the 2011 Gold Glove Award winners and extensive highlights and analysis of the best defensive performers and plays during the MLB regular season.

The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards are presented annually to the best defensive Major League Baseball players in both the American League and National League at every fielding position. All 18 Gold Glove Award winners, one for each position in each league, will be announced during the telecast. Guest presenters Omar Vizquel (11-time Gold Glove winner) and Mike Matheny (four-time winner) will join ESPN Baseball Tonight analysts during the show.

Who do you all think will win? My predictions are

AL
Buehrle - Pitcher
Wieters - Catcher
Gonzalez - 1st Base
Pedroia - 2nd Base
Cabrera - Short Stop (although I think Hardy deserves to win)
Beltre - 3rd Base
Gordon - Left Field
Ellsbury - Center Field (although I think Bourjos/Jackson are more deserving)
Francoeur - Right Field

NL
Kershaw - Pitcher
Molina - Catcher
Votto - 1st Base
Phillips - 2nd Base
Tulowitzki - Short Stop
Polanco - 3rd Base
Braun - Left Field
Kemp - Center Field
Bruce - Right Field

Hardy doesn't deserve it over Asdrubal, lay off the drugs.

Hardy doesn't deserve it over Asdrubal, lay off the drugs.

Hardy had a REALLY nice defensive year, I think you're overlooking him. Flashy plays shouldn't make you an automatic gold glover...well unless you're Jeter

[jsab4807]

Flashy plays are a bonus. Asdrubal gets to balls 90% of SS's can't even think of getting to.

I'm not 100% sure who should get the GOLD GLOVES. However, I think Hardy, Adam Jones, and Nick Markakis should be in the running for SS,CF, & RF. Without a doubt Wieters should have the one for catchers.

Very disapointted Carlos Gonzalez isn't up for one, and Matt Holliday, Seriously is that a joke.

Matt Holliday should never win a Gold Glove.

Well two (2) of the four (4) "Birds" I mentioned Monday (10/31) got their "GOLD GLOVES". Congratulations to Wieters(c) and Markakis(rf).

Glad Tulo won, but Andre Either isn't good in the field, I don't get that one.
