Buncha fucking haters.

Really. I blame the editors and the right rail.

The rest of SBN hates Cheat and the gang, and the right rail speaks for itself.

They took it out on Bacon.

Beckham got the most 3rd place votes though

I think it was retaliation for equal gender author opportunities

Looks about right, I would have put Anderson 4th, Beckham 5th.

The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.

Beckham will probably have the third best career of all the people on that list

id rather have a 24 year old (human years) dog that has advanced parkinson’s batting for our team than vlad.

Also, this loss is almost as bad as the failed attempt to attract the Olympics

to Chicago in 2016. Huge step down from 5th in votes garnered for Becks.

I bet if he was a catcher he’d have been further up in the vote tally. This is my new wish – Becks wearing the Tools of Ignorance.

We have been unexceptional in the field for a long time.

Buehrle’s Gold Glove is the first won by a White Sox player since third baseman Robin Ventura in 1998. Always considered one of the best fielding pitchers in the AL, Buehrle was blocked by previous winners Kenny Rogers (five times), Mike Mussina (three times) and Johan Santana during his past nine years.
