McLouth gets Gold Glove

Congrats to Nate but that puts him on the "soon-to-be-traded" list of the
Nutting organization. Anyone who performs is traded to assure the
continuation of the Nothing's losing streak!

Can anyone explain this reaction to McClouth's win of the award from
Rotoworld:

"Nate McLouth, Carlos Beltran and Shane Victorino were the NL Gold
Glove outfielders announced on Wednesday.
Also winning were pitcher Greg Maddux, catcher Yadier Molina, first
baseman Adrian Gonzalez, second baseman Brandon Phillips, third
baseman David Wright and shortstop Jimmy Rollins. Wright is just as
bad of a pick as he was last year, but McLouth getting the nod is the
single worst selection that NL managers and coaches have made in at
least a decade. The 27-year-old is probably an above average corner
outfielder, but he was perhaps the game's worst full-time center
fielder last season. Beltran and Chris Young were the NL's best
outfielders. Victorino isn't a bad third choice, though Mike Cameron
also would have been fine. If they wanted to include a corner
outfielder, Randy Winn would have been an option."

Rotoworld is a website that caters to fantasy players so I assume this
is based on some stat or other.

BF, you want to take a shot at this? You see many more Bucs games than
I do.
