Gold Glove Winners

amazing that no one from the rockies won one. The best team fielding percentage and not one gold glove.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chipper Jones is a bit baffled by David Wright winning the NL Gold Glove.

"When I find out [Wright won] I was speechless, for quite some time," Jones said. "Certainly the guys with the least amount of errors and best fielding percentage quite obviously didn't win it."The report also quoted Jones as saying, "I wouldn't have been disappointed had someone like [Pedro] Feliz or [Aramis] Ramirez won it. I'm a little confused by the final tally - that's a head-scratcher for me."

Wright wasn't exactly devastated by Jones' comments. While talking to The Post yesterday, the Mets' third baseman said he paid no attention to Jones' remarks.

"Chipper Jones plays for the Braves," Wright said. "Honestly I could care less. I respect what Chipper does in this game. I respect Chipper as a player. But what he says to the papers doesn't mean anything to me personally.

"I don't take anything he says to heart. Obviously I think I can be better defensively. There's no doubt about it. But I have a Gold Glove, and that's the bottom line, and that's something I'm very proud of, and I feel like I'm getting better and better defensively, and obviously managers and coaches have seen that."

Chipper gives a little credit to A-Ram?, I like it. I agree with what he had to say for the most part.
If Wright batted .250 there's no chance he would have won this award.

the fact that jeter has won a gold glove should tell you how legitimate a gold glove award is. 'nuff said.

No doubt. Same goes for David Wright. LOL @ 22 errors being gold glove worthy.

How in God's name does Troy Tulowitski, who had one of the best years for a shortstop defensively EVER, not win?

It's the Gold Glove. What don't you get?

...your question?

[Bleeding Green]

It's the Gold Glove. The voters don't know who the actual best defender is at each position, so who cares? The Gold Glove doesn't mean anything and everyone knows this and has stated so on many occasions. Best to just ignore it and occasionally get a good laugh when you see 'Gold Glove winner, Derek Jeter' in print.

Maybe in general, baseball is a joke...

Yeah, Tulo got screwed, as did the Rockies defense in general.

Eh.

So he's gold-glove worthy, right?

How do the Rockies, who had the best field percentage in the history of baseball, not have a single Gold Glove winner?

Your guess is as good as mine.
