both are stellar defensive players. mark will have a slight edge there, 4 gold gloves to gonzo's 2.
but gonzalez is an offensive savant. he put impressive numbers playing for the padres in the biggest pitcher park in the majors. he also had no protection in the lineup.
i know the red sox courted teixeira hard when he was a free agent and they were pissed the yankees signed him.
i love watching gonzo hit fly balls that bounce off the green monster for doubles. such a beautiful thing. those balls would be fly ball outs in petco park. i say he wins 2011 al mvp
