The same will happen as fielding is judged more skillfully ... not on faulty reputations or a flair for the offbalance jump throw from shallow left that would have been a simple backhand flip for a SS with a good first step. :wink:
    Im talking about the fielding awards that are referred to in the link you provided. I wouldnt be asking you about the Golden Glove awards.

                      I figure that God could at least be an average fielder at his position.

                        Some clown was just on EPSN talking about the study. Some former #1 pick in football (I'm sure someone can fill me in). His objection to the study: Jeter has four rings, everyone who thinks he shouldn't be playing SS is a *****. Lol. What the heck does that have to do with fielding ability other than his bat and the rest of the team apparently made up for it.

                        Edit - Might be Keyshawn. No surprise then.

                            A small part of my brain died as I listened to that. The gap between people who know baseball and those who don't is quite enormous.
