Via Rob Neyer, the Rawlings awarded the NL Gold Gloves today. From Neyer’s article:
Well, there’s nothing truly offensive about the list of National League Gold Glove winners. Rather, it’s just the usual laziness that you would expect from voters who don’t take the process seriously. If you’re a voter and you really don’t care who wins the Gold Gloves, your job is easy: You simply vote for who you voted for last year, or you vote for the player with the highest fielding percentage. Jimmy Rollins scored on both points, and one wonders if the voters have any idea that Troy Tulowitzki was again the best shortstop in the National League, just as he was in 2007 (when Rollins won his first Gold Glove).
Again, the way the Gold Glove voting is conducted means you need to take the results with a huge grain of salt.


Congrats Michael Bourn!
