He's hit 30 homers once his entire career. Gold gloves don't mean jack shit. It;s an award voted on by managers who are literally guessing and playing favorites more times than not.
I don't count the O's DH or 2b spots because there was no clear regular there prior to the season started. I don't think anyone was counting on poor Brian Roberts. Hardy was a regular going into the season.
Weiters isn't that good defensively to defend. He's not Yadier Molina. I think he's heavily underperforming. Shouldn't be near the ASG either.
You can take Hardy all you want. Never said you were wrong for liking him. I've liked less than stellar players a plenty. Just don't act like an ass, toting him around like an all star when he's clearly not, and clearly is one of the worst everday guys on the squad.
