It’s actually a pretty big deal, I think, for players,because it’s not something like a Gold Glove that’s voted on by managers and stuff. It’s more of an award that’s by the numbers. They’re trying to come up with a formula to where this is almost like a batting average. It’s, I guess, the truest defensive award you could get numbers-wise. So, to me, it’s a pretty big deal. Since it started about four or five years ago, I’ve always looked at that, took a lot of information from that, having the book, reading through the players and stuff like that.
