Default 2009 AL Gold Glove Winners

C- Joe Mauer, Twins
1B- Mark Teixeira, Yankees
2B- Placido Polanco, Tigers
SS- Derek Jeter, Yankees
3B- Evan Longoria, Rays
OF- Torii Hunter, Angels
OF- Ichiro, Mariners
OF- Adam Jones, Orioles
P- Mark Buehrle, White Sox

I think both Yankees selected are very deserving. Jeter's GG awards in years past might have been up for debate, but he did such a good job on defense this year there's almost no question.

Erick Aybar and Elvis Andrus come to mind.

They're more deserving than Jeter, but the whole GG award system is so flawed it's become cliche to call it flawed. It's more like the best fielder who is also a good hitter.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Large markets help too, obviously.

Aybar was pretty productive though. Tbh i have no qualms with Jeter winning the award.

I agree those guys are definitely also deserving, and the Gold Glove voting is an absolute joke (STILL can't get over Palmeiro winning over Tino in '97 when Rafi played only something like 37 games in the field), but I'm sure those guys will get their share of GG's before their careers are over.

Can't believe Franklin Guitterez didn't win a gold glove this year.

EDIT: Actually, I can, because it's the gold glove.

Good to see Buehrle finally get recognized.

I have an honest question here.

I have no objection to any of the players here receiving Gold Gloves.

But. I saw about 16 Sox games with Baltimore. Adam Jones? What did I miss?

Placido Palanco? What about Kinsler (sp)?

Kinsler is not a spectacular defensive 2B. Polanco has lost a step, so i'll check into his defensive stats and see how he fares.

Both are excellent second basemen, but, according to UZR/150, Polanco had the best defensive year for AL second basemen. I don't have an issue with that selection.

I just really get a kick out of the fact that the player who led all of MLB in UZR/150, and did so by a wide margin, wasn't rewarded with a gold glove.

Who was it?

I'd like to know.

Ah, my bad. I should have, and the only reason I didn't was because I had mentioned him earlier.

Franklin Guiterrez.

So what about Jones?

Any opinions?

Lol.

I just can't remember him as being anything but average. SSS.

What did he do to merit such distinction?
