MLB Gold Glove Finalists & Predictions

The MLB season and Playoffs are quickly coming to an end, with the Royals and Giants currently tied 1-1 in the World Series. It was a remarkable campaign in baseball, and I already can't wait for April so we can do it all again. While the Commissioner's Trophy is by far the most important trophy, there are certainly many personal awards still up for grabs. One of the most prized awards every season is the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, and those finalists were released today.
