First it was a Fielding Bible Award. Then came the Gold Glove Award, followed by calls for a Platinum Glove.
Cleveland Indians fans saw Roberto Perez win another award this week as he was named the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year. Not just the best catcher of the year. The best overall player of the year.
The league leader in defensive WAR deserves all the awards and all the recognition. As we have written before, he played the whole season with terrible pain in his ankle. For those not in the know, ankle pain is not easy for a catcher to deal with.
