Congratulations to the white Gold Glove award-winners in the American League in 2010. C Joe Mauer, 1B Mark Teixeira, 3B Evan Longoria, and P Mark Buehrle.

The issue I see here is sample size. Aside from Hernandez and Welker, none of these guys have a significant enough body of work so far this season to draw any reasonable conclusions. With the exception of those two, none of the other players on the list have more than fifteen receptions...

They still can't say it, even when it's actually the most obvious observation in the world. Edited by: PhillyBirds

Was it this one, Don? It's a bit old, but it may be the one you're referring to. It was one of the threads that convinced me to make an account here. It took a bit of digging, though. Edited by: PhillyBirds

Not sure if it's been mentioned here already, but it appears that Arizona has passed a ballot initiative called Proposition 107. Described as: Looks like it passed by a 60-40 margin. What's in the water down there in Arizona?

Almost got me.

Skipperon, compared to last year, it's much better in terms of white representation. The Rangers lineup last night was particularly good, which was their starting lineup for a vast majority of the season (minus Traenor, plus Guerrero at DH): Texas 1 Elvis Andrus SS 2 Michael Young 3B 3...

Guerrero was an utter and complete embarrassment in right field last night. While he may have been a good fielder in his prime, he's certainly waaaaaay past it now. He bobbled balls, was slow to others and took some terrible routes. It's not like he's been lighting the world on fire in the...

Eh, I don't think so. People tend to have differing opinions on things, even if we've all made it to CF. This won't change. I can understand why the "troll tag" may be on a hair trigger at this point, but I think that most people that come here and accrue a decent amount of posts mean well...

Toby tallied a total of 39 receptions in four years at Stanford, for a total of 395 yards, for a respectable average of 10.1 yards per reception. SOURCE I have no idea of the typical sample size of a college running back, in terms of receptions. Just supplying some numbers to hopefully...

Probably. He didn't get this much of an opportunity in Denver, but they brought in new running backs literally any way they could at the end of the season. Free agents, draft picks, all to bury Hillis. While I'd like to believe that he's shown enough to lock down a starting job for at least next...

Indeed, he's grown to be a terrific five-tool player in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, it's his talent that's put himself out of the price range of the Phillies right now. And they have no one to blame for that but themselves. Ryan Howard will be making $25MM. Brad Lidge and Raul Ibanez will be...

Well spoken interview, Don. Appreciated and enjoyed as always!

Not a bad World Series match up from a Caste perspective, either. Both teams start, at minimum, five whites every day. Can be anywhere from six to seven with Texas, and five or six for the Giants. Two majority-white lineups, loaded with white superstars and veterans will be terrific and fun to...

In a fair world, Blair White would see a ton more touches in Austin's absence. In reality, it probably means two receiver sets more targets and drops for Pierre Garcon.

Looks like Collie had hand surgery.

I believe that Hall is getting the call because, unfortunately, Riley Cooper is on the sidelines with a concussion. It would have left Philadelphia with only three healthy WRs on the roster. LINK

I believe that Doc could, after throwing this postseason no-hitter, retire tomorrow and have a decent shot at the Hall. As it stands, he has a whole lot more career left, and at the end of it should be a first-ballot guy. He's so unique in this era of treating pitchers with kid gloves; Doc...

I've also been pleased to see that Josh Hamilton has started both games in center field so far. He's such an unreal athlete that it blows my mind. For a guy as big and strong as him to be so fast and a natural center fielder is amazing. Imagine if he had been in the majors since he was 22 or...

Doc Halladay has just pitched only the second no-hitter in the history of postseason baseball. His second no-hitter of the year, and his first ever postseason start. Cheers to the best pitcher in baseball, and of a generation. Yankees and Twins start around 8:30. Looking forward to watching...

Gah. He is an exciting player, a lot of fun to watch.

Aye, sorry Toby.

Welcome to the board, Mick. Glad to see I'm not the only one from Philly to find my way here.

Love it, Jimmy. Sending it out to friends and family.

One of my all-time favorites, and a brilliant piece of writing. Cheers to JC for taking the time to put such a terrific article together. This is the first article that I usually print out to show to friends and family to make them aware. Thanks, Jimmy!
