it's remarkable how little attention jered weaver got for him ridiculous season. he put up 2003 mark prior numbers. i know people love wins, but still. he should be top 3 in the cy young voting but won't be close.

 

sabtia will probably win it, and it's going to be stupid.

Gotta love the comment next to Jeter's name in the list of this year's Gold Glove winners at the top of Baseball-Reference.com.

I had no problem believing it. I just refuse to agree with it. I think every year we are reminded by several cases that GG has long been voted on by mindless sheep. I think reputable sites like BaseballReference would do themselves a favor and not even mention GG or put it in players awards section. Since GG was created by The Sporting News, I think it would be cool if BR got together with some other places and come up with a competitive defensive award that is actually based on defensive merit and not whatever the clowns who vote on GG do currently.

And the stat that it links to showing that Jeter was the worst defensive shortstop in the American League by an absurdly large margin

Full list of AL Gold Gloves:

 

P - Who?

C - Joe Mauer

1B - Mark Teixeira

2B - Robinson Cano

SS - Derek Jeter

3B - Evan Longoria

OF - Ichiro

OF - Franklin Gutierrez

OR - Carl Crawford

 

Jeter, Cano, and Teixeira all have negative UZRs on Fan Graphs. Somehow, I'm not surprised.

Starlin Castro was dead last on that list. Holy crap.

If they weren't Yankees, they wouldn't have won. I'm surprised they didn't give a GG to Posada.

No no no! I've seen them with my own eyes. Teixeria, Jeter and Cano are studs. Just watch them play. They play the game the right way. Jeter is awesome at fielding grounders. He only had 15 errors last year!! Why would I let a computer tell me anyone's better at fielding than Jeter?

Sad thing is that Gardner probably has a legitimate claim to being a GGer.

This goes without saying, but that's a much, much better list

[TruffleShuffle]

carlos gonzalez should not have won and i don't think that victorino is a gold glove CF - more like above average. no real egregious mistakes, though, and kudos to them for picking michael bourn, because he's the kind of player who tends to get overlooked because he can't hit.

Is Rolen still a GG'r over there? Seemed less than impressive in the few games of his that I saw.

[Derwood]

is there a sports award less exciting than the Gold Glove?

 

Maybe going to the Pro Bowl.....

[OleMissCub]

carlos gonzalez should not have won

 

Ummm, why? He's a badass out there.

[SouthSideRyan]

Personally, I think Seth Smith was robbed

[abuck1220]

is cargo still stealing playing time from smith? BS.

I don't know anything aobut their fielding prowess, but this is what Rob Neyer had to say about the subjects...

 

The selection of Cincinnati's Scott Rolen is ... well, it's unfortunate. Not for Rolen, who picks up his eighth Gold Glove (and first since 2006). But unfortunate mostly for the credibility of the voters, who somehow missed that Ryan Zimmerman deserved to win his second straight Gold Glove. Did the voters really choose the 35-year-old Rolen instead of the 25-year-old Zimmerman because Zimmerman made a few more errors than Rolen? (Yes, that's a rhetorical question. But the answer is probably yes, they really did.)

 

Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez pretty obviously won the Gold Glove with his bat. He deserves some credit for playing all three outfield positions, but there's not much evidence that he played any of them particularly well. Let alone brilliantly. Maybe Gonzalez would have been more impressive if he'd stayed in one place long enough to get comfortable. But they probably shouldn't hand out Gold Gloves based on maybes.

 

Philadelphia's Shane Victorino has a wonderful nickname (The Flyin' Hawaiian) and he's won a couple of Gold Gloves before, which apparently is enough for a third. Well, that and the fact that 2010 wasn't a great year for National League outfielders. The voters could have gone for Angel Pagan, except he's a Met. They could have gone for Tony Gwynn, except he didn't play every day. They could have gone for Andres Torres, except he played somewhere different every day. They could have gone for Marlon Byrd, except he's built like Kirby Puckett but isn't Kirby Puckett. So they went for Victorino, again. Maybe next year, fellas ...
