Fielding Bible: Interesting names
"Hands down, bar none, Molina is the best catcher in Major League Baseball. "
Molina is the first ever unanimous choice and is estimated to have saved the team 20 runs. Ryan, the man who must be traded because he is an annoying twit who just possibly might have infected Rasmus with a virulent and contagious form of clubhouse cancer, should have won at SS, and is estimated to have saved the team a whopping 24 runs with his defense, but the panel gave the award to Tulowitzki. And in this season's "Oh God, not again" moment, Daric Barton won the award at 1B. I know some have asked that we never mention the "Barton trade" again, but it seems it's like a bad case of the clap that just keeps coming back.
P Mark Buehrle, Chicago White Sox (86)
C Yadier Molina, Cardinals (100)
1B Daric Barton, Oakland (86)
2B Chase Utley, Philadelphia (86)
3B Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay (92)
SS Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado (97)
LF Brett Gardner, NY Yankees (96)
CF Michael Bourn, Houston (91)
RF Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle (92)

Re: Fielding Bible: Interesting names
"Other Cardinals who received votes were Matt Holliday (fifth in LF), Pujols (second at 1B), Felipe Lopez (received votes at 3B), Jake Westbrook (sixth at P), Chris Carpenter (eighth at P) and Adam Wainwright (tied 10th at P)."
Felipe Lopez? Seriously?
I'm guessing Tulo was chosen over Ryan because Ryan probably played in more games.
Here's another column on defensive prowess:

"Felipe Lopez (received votes at 3B)"
This make this system meaningless
