2010 AL Gold Glove Award Winners Announced: Somehow, Derek Jeter Wins Another

PrintThe AL Gold Glove awards have been announced today. Some of the awards are surprises, others aren't.
For example, Ichiro Suzuki, Carl Crawford, and Franklin Gutierrez all won an award for their OF play. I can't argue much with this, as the 3 of them are probably the best defensive OF in the AL. Brett Gardner of the Yankees was a good choice as well, but again, it's hard to argue with the 3 who did win. This is Ichiro's 10th award, tying an AL record. Only Roberto Clemente and Willy Mays have won more
Derek Jeter is the big surprise - sort of. 2009 was a surprisingly strong season for Jeter in the field, but 2010 was maybe a "makeup" for the previous season's better fielding. This is Jeter's 5th Gold Glove, 4 more than he should have, if Rob Neyer has anything to say about it. It makes you wonder what managers are looking at, and it makes me quiver in fear for Troy Tulowitzki's chances tomorrow.
Full results past the jump
| Mark Teixeira | 1B |
| Robinson Cano | 2B |
| Evan Longoria | 3B |
| Joe Mauer | C |
| Ichiro Suzuki | OF |
| Carl Crawford | OF |
| Franklin Gutierrez | OF |
| Mark Buehrle | P |
| Derek Jeter | SS |
Just for kicks, here's what it would have looked like if UZR picked the award.
| Daric Barton | 1B |
| Orlando Hudson | 2B |
| Kevin Kouzmanoff | 3B |
| A.J. Pierzynski | C |
| Brett Gardner | OF |
| Carl Crawford | OF |
| Ichiro | OF |
| Mark Buehrle | P |
| Alexei Ramirez | SS |

Actually I can believe it
I’ve learned to never underestimate the power of stupidity when it comes to accolades and the Yankees.
Thanks for all you've done to make Purple Row my favorite place on the internet Russ. Your presence will be sorely missed.

you stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid gold glove voters.
Is it 2011 yet?

good question, I just left it on "Qualified"
It looks like something like 126…ish.

Pinstripe Alley can't really understand it either.
If his biggest fans think it’s a joke, that’s messed up.

Remember when Palmeiro won DHing?
Yeah, once that happened, I never regarded winning the Gold Glove very rewarding.
Maybe it was given as an acting award this year?

Maybe they mistook GG to be Gorgeous Girlfriend
Because Jeter wins that one easily.

Would have rather given the AL SS GG to John McDonald
and he barely played at all last season
Yes, I actually do like cricket. I'm Indian.
Rockies are actually zombies. And they're coming to hunt you down just when you think they're buried.

Mark Buehrle should have been the only GG winner this year.
That one play should be the standard for all future GG’s.
@charliedrysdale
As for Tulowitzki
I dont think he deserves it this year. Huge amount of time on the DL + better defensive seasons by the likes of Ryan and really not his best defensive season. If Tulo gets it tomorrow it will be based on either his 2007 season snub or his 2010 september at the plate. Take out those two factors – neither of which SHOULD count towards this years GG award – and Tulo ranks 3rd or 4th this year.
As for honest and deserving GG awards on the Rockies… only Gonzales should be considered. He has a real shot for one of the top 3 OF but my best guess is he gets a SS award for the only GG or SS award going to a Colorado player this year.

I agree Tulo shouldn't win the gold glove over Ryan this season but not because of his DL stint
The innings were actually very close (1127 for Ryan vs. 1065 for Tulo). Ryan however showed outstanding first step quickness and displayed tremendous range all season long and despite making almost twice as many errors was a tad better than Tulo. (Tulo was a solid second in my opinion though. I’d be curious to know who else you have ranked ahead of him.)
As far as Cargo, I don’t think he deserves a GG this season.

The fact that CarGo was so negatively rated by multiple defensive metrics makes me disagree with you.

Wait...I've got it!
The answer is so obvious! Someone was thinking about Jeter’s outstanding acting job on the non-HBP against the Rays late in the season, and it netted him a Golden GLOBE. That makes so much more sense now.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to punch the coaches and voters in the face
for lazily voting for him again and again?
I'll get the bats for that one
/still thinks Jeter has a punchable face, though even there he’s a pale faker compared to Matt Cain
