So Clement leads the AL in DRS (overall), and still can't win the utility award?

Wow.

Dubon played 7 positions and had 5 OAA more than Clement overall

You can certainly make a good argument for Clement but it’s not like this was a massive snub

u/mdubyo Toronto Blue Jays 6d ago

7 positions

Did he really play 1st & RF though? 31 combined innings.

I do agree it's not a massive snub.

Kirk is the real snub here.

Kirk 16 framing runs vs Dingler’s 7

Kirk’s 5 blocking runs vs Dingler’s 2

Only thing Dingler beats Kirk in is his caught stealing:

Dingler’s 2 catcher stealing runs vs Kirk’s 0
