November 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 09:58 AM) More Jeter/SS analysis. This time from Baseball Reference. The amazing thing is that only 5 of the 28 had an OPS+ of 100.
November 10, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 07:30 AM) Was the right side of the Yankee infield really THAT good on defense? Having a Gold Glover at SS makes the 2B & 1B look that much better.
November 10, 201015 yr My god, I thought this would finally be the year Jeter doesn't get the award. What a friggin' joke.
November 10, 201015 yr Yankees' Jeter plays bad defense, wins undeserved Gold Glove That would make the "real" Gold Glove winner at short Alexei Ramirez(notes) of the Chicago White Sox, or Elvis Andrus(notes) of the Texas Rangers, or Cliff Pennington(notes) of the Oakland Athletics, or Jack Wilson(notes) of the Seattle Mariners. Jeter doesn't even appear on their voting tally.

November 10, 201015 yr lol@neither Ryan Zimmerman or Jay Bruce winning a GG. Was surprised to see Cargo get one. His D was solid to me but hardly spectacular. Andres Torres was much more deserving. Edited November 10, 201015 yr by Jordan4life
November 11, 201015 yr Torres should have gotten one. Bruce is a right fielder and they usually go with 3 center fielders or guys fitted to play CF for the awards. How Chase Utley doesn't win gold gloves is beyond me.

Every metric out there casts him in a ultra-positive light defensively. Not to mention the eye test. I watch quite a few Reds games between when they play the Cubs and the Extra Inning package. Bruce was not that far off from prime Larry Walker. As for Utley? Yeah. He obviously slept with multiple coaches/managers wives.
November 11, 201015 yr Alexei had 768 fielding chances... Jeter had 553. That's a difference of more than 200. Seriously it's no wonder Jeter only had 6 errors... at least he fields the balls that are hit right to him cleanly.

November 11, 201015 yr Buehrle is the only pitcher to ever win multple GG's and have multiple no hitters.
