Hardy SS, Alex Gordon OF, Adam Jones OF, Shane Victorino OF, Salvador Perez C, R. A. Dickey P NL: Paul Goldschmidt 1B, Brandon Phillips 2B, Nolan Arenado 3B, Andrelton Simmons SS, Carlos Gonzalez OF, Carlos Gomez OF, Gerardo Parra OF, Yadier Molina C, Adam Wainwright P What do you think? Call me a homer if you wish, and I know you will, but I think Yunel Escobar and James Loney were snubbed at SS and 1B respectively in the AL.

Michael Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Arenado - little known name, but good god almighty he deserved this gold glove. Ridiculous at the hot corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Arenado - little known name, but good god almighty he deserved this gold glove. Ridiculous at the hot corner. Hell of a rookie year... BTW, no Trout? Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Altamonte Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Should have been Trout over Gordon I am also not so sure about Hardy at SS, Andrus is by far better glove Hardy can only dream of having that kind of range. It doesn't matter Iglesias will be starting his collection of Gold Gloves soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procedo Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thought Darwin Barney should have won another Gold Glove, but overall a pretty solid list. Better than years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This award has been meaningless for years. Derek Jeter having one (let alone 5) is a testament to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 This award has been meaningless for years. Derek Jeter having one (let alone 5) is a testament to this Great article on this exact subject and also on defensive metrics in general: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9603949/the-tragedy-derek-jeter-defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Altamonte Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 great article it a shame Jeter has won most of the Gold Gloves with the range of a gnat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I nominate Spike to be the sole arbiter of who should receive Gold Glove awards. Derek Jeter was, even in his prime, one of the worst defensive players in baseball at any position, let alone SS. In his best years he was just a shade over terrible. This has never been a secret.

Admin Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 that's really not an exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yes it fucking is. You said he was one of the worst defensive players in baseball at any position in his prime. You're ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 That article kind of supports that so, yeah. So did the one from like 7 years ago when it compared him to Adam Everett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's a pretty dumb thing to say. UZR shows him as mostly being average to below average. Not even close to being worst in baseball at any position bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
