Derek Jeter won a gold glove. Why do they even bother with these things anymore if the voters aren’t going to take them remotely seriously? Just a complete waste of everybody’s fucking time. Or... I know it would be a pain in the ass for the trophy engraver, but why not just go back to the original title: Gold Reputation As A Good Defensive Player Who Also Did Well At The Plate This Year Regardless Of What His Actual Defence Is Like, Because What Am I Going To Do?

Jeter, Teixeira Take Home Gold Gloves
The Yankee Universe —
From MLB.com:
The dive-and-spin, dirty-uniform parade began with Mark Teixeira, who earned his third Gold Glove — but first since 2006 — for an often-overlooked aspect of his game that was every bit as vital to the Yankees’ drive to a World Series title as his 39 home runs and 122 RBIs. Teixeira made only four errors in 1,275 chances, to say nothing of the errors by other infielders he prevented with his wide-ranging scoops of errant throws……
Derek Jeter is back in familiar company. The Yankees’ captain was ...

Derek Jeter & Mark Teixeira snag Gold Gloves
lenNY's Yankees —
And who said Derek Jeter has no range? Jeter was honored with the AL Gold Glove for shortstop, and Mark Teixeira took home the Gold Glove for first base, Major League Baseball announced today. And no, these aren’t two big-name guys who win it every year. Both didn’t win last year, meaning both made improvements to earn back the honors. Rob Neyer of ESPN.com had a major problem with the selected Gold Glove winners. I didn’t agree with him, especially after he said Kevin Youkilis deserved the Gold Glove for first base over Tex. ...

For anyone who watched Teixeira this year remind us (after years of the Giambino) what it is like to have a 1B who can play defense (Mattingly/Tino), his selection was no surprise.

Cold Wins the Battle of Motivation
Kings of Kauffman | A Kansas City Royals Blog —
Today is one of those days where my lack of motivation has, for the most part, won the battle over my compulsive urges to write. This is likely due to my recent lack of sleep and the fact that I have been fighting a cold off and on for what seems like a month now. Still the urge to write could not be completely quashed and this is the result. I could provide you with some drivel about how the Gold Glove Awards are a joke, but you hopefully already know that. Frankly who did or didn’t win doesn’t alter my world view in any way and a multitude of posts have been published with reactions to the AL GG Awards ...

He's
good at baseball. More specifically, he's one of the best defensive
second basemen in the league, and he certainly deserved to win the Gold
Glove this year (Yeah, the voters got one right. I know, I was shocked too). I talked a little bit about the problems with UZR in the Michael Cuddyer post (seriously, read David Gorski's ...

Derek won the ROY in 1996 and has had years where he has scored the most runs in the league (127 in 1998) and where he's had the most hits (219 in 1999). Including this past season, Derek has now won four Gold Gloves and has five top-10 MVP finishes (this year will certainly be a 6th). ...
