I'll say it for you, Dave, just in case Jhonny Peralta makes an error in winter ball:
"You know, Omar would have made that play."
Omar Vizquel returned to the top of the defensive shortstop field Wednesday when he notched his first-ever NL Gold Glove Award. It was his first Gold Glove since 2001, and compliments his cache of nine straight AL Gold Gloves, won with the Mariners and Indians from 1993 to 2001.
In his career in Cleveland, Omar received some criticism from hardened journalist-types that he won some of his Gold Gloves based on reputation, beating out more deserving candidates.
And before Dave says "Who? Who?!!" I'll just drop the names Mike Bordick and Alex Rodriguez on the table.
So, with that in mind, now that Omar has crossed leagues and clawed his way back to the top after four years in the background, does this strengthen his case for the hall of fame or not?
Dave? Zach? Abrasivist? Anybody else?
