| Pablo Sandoval deserved the NL Silver Slugger for third base. Not to take anything away from Aramis Ramirez's great season, but Pablo's was significantly better, despite missing around 6 weeks to injury. Heck, he should have won the Gold Glove too. The effort he put in during this offseason paid off enormously in the field, this guy was a treat to watch all season long. Offensive and defensive metrics back him up as the NL's top third baseman in 2011, it's too bad he didn't get the recognition he deserved. |
