The big knock against the Giants all season was we had no offense. No big bats. No threat to win any of the hitting trophies. So, how did we win the World Series? Pitching and strong defense. We won by keeping other teams from scoring.
So, how many Gold Gloves did a stellar defense gets? I mean surely Freddie Sanchez won one for his impersonation of a black hole for line drives, right?
We got nothing.
We're not winning the Cy Young this year, Roy Halladay is the hands down favorite for that, but Buster Posey had better win NL Rookie of the Year.

Posey had better win.
