Alec Burleson Wins Silver Slugger
WHY?
Who do you feel the award should gave gone to?
No one. Utility Silver Slugger has been an award for the merely above average. Burleson had a good season at the plate but was in no way award worthy. Nighthawk listed a couple other dubious honorees. I'd prefer MLB abolish the award.

Utility Player SS, not SS overall, yes?
I like the SS awards in general. I think the Utility award has watered it down. Not a major pet peeve, just my preference.

18 HR, 69 RBI for a 1B/LF/DH Silver Slugger. The bar is now so low one could crawl over it.
+1 congrats to him but man the quality of offense has fallen badly when he wins one
Yeah I look at this team and I say man this roster is garbage...but I always compare it to past cards rosters...but then I say man this garbage team is around a 500 ball club...a few quality moves and they could possibly win 88 to 90 games...then I wonder how many games those past cards teams with Pujols..Rolen..Edmonds..Carp etc...could win in this league....
