Lorenzo Olivares was the Federal League Gold Glove winner in right field. He made only 4 errors all season with a fielding percentage of .979 and a zone rating of +12.1. He needs to improve his batting average if he wants to win another one. Its tough to win the award from the bench.
Brian Wilson was signed as a free agent for a $1.5 million salary and ends up winning the Outstanding Pitcher Award. He had never turned in a year like this, but he had never been on a good team either. Is it a fluke? If he even approaches this level next year, he will be a darn good starter. I wonder what his next contract demand will be. It's not my problem this year. Wilson is signed for 2005 at $2 million.
