Plenty of awfully smart people disagree...

That said I am surprised that Barney was able to unseat the incumbent who hits much better.

Barney was the better defender at 2B by the eye test and the stats test. I'm surprised Phillips didn't win though.

Should've been Phillips.

Make a case instead of blatant posts that make you look like you are only saying it because you don't like Barney.

Phillips wouldn't even be #2 in Keith Law's mind for example, and he explained why.

You have no explanation here except that Phillips is Phillips...

Barney described his style as plain Jane. He said he just did what he needed to make outs without extra flair. Subtle shot at Phillips :thinking:

who gives a **** if darwin fucking barney is better at defense than phillips....stop being so sensitive. All that matters is who is the better player and that is brandon phillips.

I think Phillips fired the first shot on Twitter. I don't think Barney's comments were out of line, just dab being dab :D

Phillips is definitely the better overall player, but Barney is the better defender and that's what the Gold Gloves are supposed to measure, not that they always do it right. I mean, Mike Trout didn't get one, so... :shifty:

lol way to go way off topic and make a post sound different than it was meant just because Joe was questioned for making a dumb post without explanation

And Phillips has been taking shots about the Gold Glove since mid-season saying that the only reason Barney makes less errors is because he didn't have any range to make errors on, which just about every stat you can look at and the eye test suggest otherwise. And what Barney said wasn't a shot at all, in any form.

Well you replied, and then we you get a reply back to your off-base post, you resort to using stupid images.

Same thing you do with HawkWriter, then you call him an idiot and call him a worthless poster, where he is at least making real points and at the very least trying. Same can't be said for you often.
