From MLB-
Perhaps the curiosity of this year's Silver Sluggers was best captured in the case of Vladimir Guerrero, who served as the designated hitter for the Rangers en route to the club's first World Series appearance. Guerrero won his eighth award overall, but his first since he moved from the outfield to DH. He was joined on the AL squad by his Rangers teammate Josh Hamilton, who made it for the second time as an outfielder.
Befitting the record amount of turnover, there were several first-time winners, including Rockies sluggers Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Tulowitzki and Gonzalez were also named Gold Glove winners at shortstop and in the outfield, respectively.
"Year in and year out, the big priority for me is all about winning the World Series, and that should be our main focus," Tulowitzki said during a conference call Thursday with Denver reporters. "To get these awards, it means we're doing our jobs."
Of his fellow Rockies Silver Slugger winner, Tulowitzki said, "Just seeing the things he can do, I knew he was going to be a special player. ... I always say if there was one player I'd purchase a ticket, this is the guy I would want to see."
