Gold Fingers
The AL Gold Glove winners were announced today. Derek Jeter won at shortstop. The amazing thing is that Jeter was a good candidate. He amassed 7.2 fielding win shares, tied for 3rd in the AL.
The Gold Glove voting system stinks, by the way. I believe the managers and coaches vote for their top choice only, and whoever gets a plurality wins. They really need to do a 1-2-3 system, as the writers do for their awards.

I'd love to hear your opinion on Johnny Damon and the OF Gold Gloves. Should they go to a per-OF-position GG or the current any-old-outfielder system? I can't imagine why JD was overlooked given his fielding Win Shares. I'm biases but still. Cheers, -Ali
I have a better arm than Johnny Damon, that's why he was "overlooked'.
You, me, and John Kerry, too.
