November 2, 201114 yr In the spirit of fairness, it should be pointed out that Derek Jeter didn't win it this year.

November 3, 201114 yr Congrats to Mark, a special player. Do yu guys think any way the Royals will make a bid for him? He's exactly what they need if they wish to do squat next season.

November 3, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 2, 2011 -> 09:23 AM) The full list, plus the truest statement ever. MLB_PR MLB Public Relations by ESPNChiSox AL Rawlings #GoldGlove winners: Buehrle P, Wieters C, Gonzalez 1B, Pedroia 2B, Beltre 3B, Aybar SS, Gordon LF, Ellsbury CF, Markakis RF keithlaw keithlaw The people who voted on the Gold Glove awards also believe the McRib is real food. He's very late on this, because the voters did a very good job this year. Pitchers are difficult to figure out, but Kershaw and Buehrle seem deserving enough. Catchers are also difficult, but I'm going to assume that Wieters threw out a few runners and Molina has always had a good reputation as a defensive catcher. Gonzalez led the AL in UZR, Votto led the NL in UZR. Pedroia led the AL in UZR, Phillips the NL in UZR. Beltre led the AL in UZR, Polanco led the NL in UZR SS was not as good because Aybar is not that good (and never has been that good), but Tulowitzki was probably the best full-time defensive SS. Beltre led the AL in UZR, Polanco the NL Gordon and Ellsbury were both good very good defensive OFers, Parra and Ethier were solid too. Kemp and Markakis were bad and there were better options. I see 3 players that I can strongly disagree with out of 18. That's pretty damn good. I think the voters are doing their research quite a bit more nowadays.
