More Gold Gloves, more head-scratching
ESPN Feed: neyer rob —
Straight from the source, we've got your 2009 American League Gold Glovers . Shockingly, the voters selected MVP candidates Joe Mauer , Mark Teixeira , and Derek Jeter , all of whom were probably solid defensively but might not have been the best fielders in the league (my choices at those positions were Gerald Laird , Kevin Youkilis , and Elvis Andrus ). At second base, the voters chose Placido Polanco because he made only two errors all season. Polanco is a pretty good second baseman, but nowhere near as good as ...

From the Worldwide leader:
Derek Jeter has won his fourth Gold Glove at shortstop, joining New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira among the American League players honored for fielding excellence.
....
Jeter and Teixeira helped lead the Yankees past Philadelphia last week for the team's 27th World Series championship.
Nice to see Jeter rewarded for what was probably his best defensive season of his career. Let's hear what the nay-sayers have to nay-say about that!! Tex, to ...
You’ve Got to Be F&@king Kidding Me
The Slanch Report —
... almost not even worth getting upset about.
However, the only reason I do get mad is that other morons then cite the Gold Gloves as PROOF that someone is good, it’s even worse than the people who think Wins are a realistic barometer of a pitcher’s ability, or RBI show how good a hitter is; they don’t! Gold Gloves are voted by the players and coaches and at this point I think things like the Cable Ace Awards are a legitimately more respectable award.

To hell with your UZR!
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
... I will say this: UZR is not foolproof nor is it the be-all, end-all. It doesn't quite work for catchers and first basemen. However, it's darned good for OF. The Gold Gloves for AL OF were handed to Torii Hunter (his 9th), Ichiro (also his 9th) and Adam Jones (his 1st). Voters have no use for UZR, it seems. Let's just say that without even a word describing what he was linking to, @ ...
Annual Gold Glove Mistakes Released
Tyler's Take On Sports —
American League Gold Glove winners were announced today, and, as usual, there were some head scratching choices. For starters, how could Franklin Gutierrez not be named one of the top fielders in the league? I mean, are you kidding me? Gutierrez ranked as the premier defensive player in the game in 2009, posting an insane 29.1 UZR and 27.1 UZR/150. If you do not buy the stats, his defense is really easy on the eyes and scouts routinely praise his fine outfield work. Instead, the three outfielders to take home a Gold Glove Award were Torii ...

While the General Managers' Meetings continue at the O'Hare Airport Hilton, there's not much worthwhile to pass along other than irresponsible rumor mongering based on vague and non-specific quotes. MLBtraderumors.com can keep you up to date with what's going on outside the nation's busiest airport. Here are some links to get you through the night: AL Gold Gloves were announced today. Mark Teixeira took home his third, Derek Jeter his fourth. The gnashing of teeth over this has already begun, but let's remember, the Gold Glove is ...

Just end it now. Stop having the Gold Glove awards. If you're not going to award them to the best fielders at each position, then end the charade. This year's selections are a joke, especially awarding a fourth trophy to Derek Jeter. ...
