Yesterday, MLB.com came out with its list of the best third basemen in the game today. There sits Arenado in fourth place, behind Kris Bryant, Josh Donaldson and Manny Machado. It’s a head-scratching placement for Colorado’s third baseman who has captured four Gold Gloves awards. Oh, by the way, he’s one of only two players to begin his career by winning three Gold Gloves (joining Boston’s Frank Malzone who made history in the late 1950s).
Gold Gloves. Fielding Bible Awards. Silver Slugger Awards. It doesn’t seem to matter for Arenado.
