What about those "BIRDS" !!!!!!

[OriolesFan]

The Baltimore Orioles were the ONLY MLB team this year to have three (3) GOLD GLOVE WINNERS - J J HARDY at SS, ADAM JONES at CF, and MATT WIETERS at C. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!

sorry Dude but Trout should have been over Jones!

[OriolesFan]

No need to be sorry, Adam Jones won it. Evidently more of those who voted thought it should go to Adam. There are probably opinions about others as well, there always will be. But for the 2012 season, for CF, the GOLD GLOVE went to Adam Jones. Maybe sometime in the future Trout will win it.

That is pretty good for the Orioles to get some hardware. It's just too bad they couldn't get the BIG hardware aka the World Series trophy.

I don't know but with Trout not joining until mid-May and not playing CF fulltime his stats look better.

GP GS FULL TC PO A E DP FPCT RF ZR
Trout 110 108 886 268 264 2 2 1 .993 2.70 9.429

Jones 162 161 1458 454 439 7 8 0 .982 2.75 9.200

And Austin Jackson should've won it over both of them. #bias

However, gold gloves are really not a big deal, as a bunch of undeserving guys always win. (Derek Jeter anyone?)

[tndcollectables]

But Jeter didn't win this year. Hardy was a great choice I thought, some might have been better, but I have always liked Hardy's fielding.

Was just making the point. Brendan Ryan is by far the best shortstop in the AL, but doesn't win because the coaches somehow think a player should win the awlard based on offense.

Evidently MOST of the voters thought ADAM JONES was the BEST fielding Center Fielder for the 2012 MLB season. Like I said before there are, without a doubt, and always will be opinions that "others" were better. With baseball, that'll happen every season until there is no baseball or no planet Earth. But for 2012, the award of the GOLD GLOVE for the BEST Center Fielder in the A L belongs to ADAM JONES.

Trout got robbed....other than that, I couldn't really care less who wins these things. It's usually based on offensive statistics/reputation before ACTUAL stellar defense.

The problem is everyone knows Trout was better. Adam Jones is a below average center fielder with a strong arm. Mike Trout and Austin Jackson are two of the best center fielders in Baseball.

You weren't watching to see if Choo would win?!?

The fact that Choo was even up for a gold glove says it all. His defense in 2012 was the worst of his career, by far.

[OriolesFan]

Without a doubt (personal opinion), I'd rather have ADAM JONES play CF for me over Austin Jackson any time. According to the "experts" who voted, he isn't a "below average...". Evidently he looked better to those who voted than Jackson did. Maybe next year, if Jones doesn't play as well (hopefully he'll play just as well, if not better), maybe Jackson will improve enough that he might have a chance of winning the GOLD GLOVE.

ALL three of the Orioles GOLD GLOVE winners were deserving of the awards. However, as I said before, there will always be those who don't agree, and it'll go on until the end of baseball or the planet earth.

Have a good afternoon.

Have a good day.

I'm just glad Ethier didn't win the Gold Glove again...

I don't know who the hell votes for these but to not give it to Trout is horrible.
