Silver Sluggers do not differentiate between LF, CF, and RF - there are 3 in each league per season among all OFs. If we differentiate, Bonds is the leader in LF, we already have Trout as a co-leader in CF. There are 2 RFs with 7 each and one OF with 8 who spent some time in LF and some in RF.
Other than finishing off the OF, still looking for 1B (a current player), P (won 5 in 5 seasons, 1999-2003, pitching with 4 different NL teams), and DH (obviously an AL player as NL only added the DH recently).
Last year was the first to include a utility player among the Silver Slugger winners - so Luis Arraez & Brandon Drury are tied for the lead in that category with 1 each.
Quote:1B Freeman or Goldschmidt?
Goldschmidt is correct with 5! Freeman has 3. Pretty competitive position - lots of top hitters, so hard to pile up the big number of awards as some players at other positions.
DH - Edgar Martinez?
RF - Dave Winfield?
P - Not yet guessed, but not easy. Hint given above. Teams were Astros, Mets, Rockies, & Braves. 5 Silver Sluggers
C - Piazza with 10
1B - Goldschmidt with 5
2B - Sandberg with 7
3B - Boggs with 8
SS - Larkin with 9
LF - Bonds with 12
CF - Trout with 7 (tied with a HoF player who won 7 in the AL in the 90's and played through 2010 mostly in the NL)
RF - Not guessed yet. A HoF player won 8 - 3 in the AL('99-'02) and 5 in the NL('04-'10)
Another OF won 9 ('95-'06) as a RF for one team then as a LF for a different team.
DH - Not guessed yet. A HoF player with 7 ('04-'16)
DH -- We're looking for a recent Hall of Famer -- Ortiz?
RF -- Another pretty recent Hall of Famer. Seems like it would have to be Larry Walker or Vlad Guerrero?
CF -- Yet another recent HOF player . . . Griffey Jr.?
