My layman's predictions:

Keuchel reclaims GG ownership;
Perez over Machete;
Chapman is all but a lock at 3B.

I find it hard to believe there are 4 3rd baseman better than Bregman

Arenado and Chapman, definitely. I would assume Machado didn’t have enough time at 3B to qualify.

With the win today for DK...

Astros players with four or more Gold Gloves:
Craig Biggio
Cesar Cedeno
Doug Rader
Dallas Keuchel

Jake Kaplan @jakemkaplan 16m ago
Only 10 pitchers have more than four Gold Gloves, the number Dallas Keuchel has won over the last five seasons. He's now tied with Jim Palmer and Mark Buehrle.

Chandler Rome @Chandler_Rome 19m ago
Dallas Keuchel is the first American League pitcher since Kenny Rogers (2002-06) to win four Gold Gloves in a five-year span.

Just doing the eyeball test, Bregman and Reddick seem too low. DDJ is the shocker to me. I guess Marisnick didn't play enough?

Apparently they're only measuring how much ground was covered, not whether the play was made.

Jake with too few games to make that SABR list?

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #12 on:** November 08, 2018, 08:08:27 pm »

Tuve with his 5th straight Silver Slugger award.

Ohtani and Acuna Jr win the ROY awards.

Verlander a close second to Blake Snell in the Cy voting with Gerrit Cole coming in 5th.

ETA:
Crusty old fart Bill Madden, who mysteriously still has a gig with the NY Daily News and someone who the BBWAA in their infinite wisdom decided to give a vote for the Tampa Bay area instead of someone eminently more qualified such as longtime Rays beat writer Marc Topkin, didn't have Verlander in the top three on his ballot and put Blake Treinen and his 80 innings ahead of JV.

"If a chapter doesn’t have enough eligible voters, a voter from another chapter is chosen to represent that city."

What's this all about?

After overseeing an impressive @astros pitching staff, Brent Strom is our MLB Coach of the Year.

This is a new award that BA has created.

Very impressive. What an honor fro Strom. And, good for BA for creating the category.

Also makes him even more of a target for other teams to nab and promote to a elevated position.
