NL DANNY GOLDEN GLOVERS
The St. Louis Cardinals are the Seattle Mariners of the National League, at least defensively speaking.
Four Cardinals won Gold Gloves today, including CF Jim Edmonds, 3B Scott Rolen, SS Edgar Renteria, and C Mike Matheny.
But what do you know, JOSE CRUZ, JR. won a Gold Glove as well. He's a free agent, and he's on my "What the hell should the M's do this offseason" plan.
Cruz's 2003 fielding percentage was .994. He only had two errors, and had 18 putouts, which led all NL right fielders. You know how the Mariners love their defense.
With Cruz winning the Gold Glove, you can bet your bottom dollar that the M's will pursue Cruz now. Obviously, we all want Vladimir Guerrero. Again, that's not happening.
And let's be honest, the M's can do a lot worse than Jose Cruz, Jr.
