    Yes, as the television viewing market grows more fractured, comparing ratings today to even a few years ago becomes more and more a fruitless effort.

    TV numbers won't ever be as high as they once were, but they were still awful this year.

    Gold glove awards were suppose to start on ESPN2 10 min ago. Stupid rallycross is running late.

    If Darwin Barney doesn't win for 2B in the NL it's a crime.

    In that case, Freud Big Bird should have centerfield all wrapped up then.

    He tied the major league record for most consecutive errorless games at 2B this year. He did it by attempting throws that most infielders wouldn't. Only way he wouldn't get it is because his offense isn't good enough.

    The only egregious one is Gonzalez winning LF in the NL. He was literally the worst leftfielder in all the major leagues. Like, beyond a shadow of a doubt, no leftfielder who played more than 10 games this year was worse at defense than him.

    The award already has no credibility to lose, honestly. Having managers vote on it is beyond dumb.

    No idea why anyone would think Me. Cabrera would get anything less than a full playoff share. Even non-players like trainer's assistants often get playoff shares.

    Dodgers spending a lot to catch up on the international market. It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out but I am loving the way management is focusing in areas that they have been lacking this past decade. They are definitely not just thinking short term here, this will be great for the long run.

    Please, that already happened the day that Bobby Abreu won one for RF Though I'm sure there's even a myriad of examples before that.

    Yea I only just found out a few years ago that the GG were voted on by managers, because I remember hearing a story back when Larry Bowa was still managing the Phillies of how he was going around lobbying other managers to vote for the young Jimmy Rollins to win for shortstop. I was genuinely surprised, I'd honestly had taken it for granted that the Golden Glove was the one award that would be decided empirically. Like it made sense that the winners would be determined by some mathematical formula taking a bunch of their defensive stats into account.

    Jays, Marlins agree to mega-trade

    ESPN.com news services | November 13, 2012

    The Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a multiple-player trade that would send shortstop Jose Reyes and pitcher Josh Johnson to Toronto, according to sources.

    Also going to Toronto would be pitcher Mark Buehrle, catcher John Buck and infielder-outfielder Emilio Bonifacio.

    "Just about any (Marlins) player making money is going to Toronto," a source told ESPN.

    "It's a good day to be bluejay!" a tweet from Toronto's Jose Bautista read.

    The Blue Jays are sending shortstop Yunel Escobar, two top prospects -- outfielder Jake Marisnick and shortstop Adeiny Hechevarria -- and possibly more to the Marlins.

    Reyes (6 years, $106 million) and Buehrle (4 years, $58 million) just signed long-term deals with the Marlins last offseason. Buck has one year remaining at $6 million, Johnson one year at $13.75 million, and Bonifacio is eligible for arbitration after making $2.2 million last year.

    Information from ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney was used in this report.
