[...] Jones the golden Oriole? Written by Sadler on November 10, 2009 – 1:53 pm – With all the rumours circulating that Adam Jones has won a Gold Glove in 2009, I have to beg to question: Is Jones more [...]

He was a terrible hitter in the second half. So, no matter if he gets hardware or not, I think he’ll work very hard in the offseason. It’s just who he is. He’s shown great improvement every year he’s been here.

I believe the thinking is that since he has some things he didn’t do well this season defensively but was rewarded a GG for anyway, he may not think he actually needs to improve those aspects of his game.

Um…Adam is a trooper…he WILL be working on getting stronger and better this off season. Why would a gold glove make any difference?

There’s no way he deserves the Gold Glove this year over Gutierrez. That would be very weird if it’s true.

Don’t question Aj’s work ethic.

This is actually kind of a bad thing, because I was really hoping Jones would spend the offseason getting his fielding back to where it was the year before, but I can’t see him doing that now

Don’t know that he deserves it necessarily but that’s hardly a new phenomenon for the GG.

It makes sense. He made the all-star team for the first time this year, and that’s generally an award for the more well-known names. Who votes for the gold glove awards anyways? Players and coaches? Plus, it is well documented that he did let the cat out of the bag for the Bedard deal. And his family doesn’t really seem to understand his celebrity completely. It’s an odd way to have breaking news, but I think in this situation I’m glad you brought it to everyone’s attention.
