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.?

Rangers was Josh Hamilton in 2012. Bob Horner of the Braves in 1986. Someone named Scooter Gennett of the Reds in 2017, and also in 2017 was JD Martinez of the Diamondbacks. I saw JD play in Detroit when I lived there, always hoped the Giants could acquire him. Pat Seerey of the White Sox in 1948. Carlos Delgado of the Blue Jays in 2003.
Six American Leaguers, 12 National Leaguers. Six Hall of Famers. Six lefties, 12 righties. Delahanty's and Horner's 4 HR games were the only two that were losses. 10 of the 18 were outfielders, 5 in right. No catchers or shortstops. 1 second baseman, Lowe.

Scooter Gennett played for the Giants in, I think, 2018. (Edit - 2019) Not well and not long. Gennett was a second baseman.

Rangers was Josh Hamilton in 2012. Bob Horner of the Braves in 1986. Someone named Scooter Gennett of the Reds in 2017, and also in 2017 was JD Martinez of the Diamondbacks. I saw JD play in Detroit when I lived there, always hoped the Giants could acquire him. Pat Seerey of the White Sox in 1948. Carlos Delgado of the Blue Jays in 2003.
Six American Leaguers, 12 National Leaguers. Six Hall of Famers. Six lefties, 12 righties. Delahanty's and Horner's 4 HR games were the only two that were losses. 10 of the 18 were outfielders, 5 in right. No catchers or shortstops. 1 second baseman, Lowe.
Scooter Gennett played for the Giants in, I think, 2018. (Edit - 2019) Not well and not long. Gennett was a second baseman.

I assume the easy ones are the Stanford guys -- Jim Plunkett, John Elway, and Bobby Garrett?
Also, O.J. Simpson, Steve Bartkowski, Jared Goff? All Bay Area guys.
