Jeter Swallows


God this pissed me off. Derek Jeter (left, making an error), by all accounts a decent-but-not-great shortstop, has won another Gold Glove. He beat out, among others, Alex Gonzales (below right, turning a double play) of the Boston Red Sox. AGon was the anchor of a Red Sox infield that was the second best of all time. His defensive play was the talk of baseball all year (he made 7 errors to Jeter's 15). He set records for consecutive games without an error. Because he only played in 111 games, I guess he got overlooked for an overrated player. Jeter had a great year at the plate, but in the 6 hole, he was just run of the mill.
