Derek Jeter & Mark Teixeira snag Gold Gloves

And who said Derek Jeter has no range?

Jeter was honored with the AL Gold Glove for shortstop, and Mark Teixeira took home the Gold Glove for first base, Major League Baseball announced today

And no, these aren’t two big-name guys who win it every year. Both didn’t win last year, meaning both made improvements to earn back the honors.

Rob Neyer of ESPN.com had a major problem with the selected Gold Glove winners. I didn’t agree with him, especially after he said Kevin Youkilis deserved the Gold Glove for first base over Tex.

Well, Youk shouldn't have won. Either should Tex.

Kendry Morales should have won.

And as for SS...

Jeter had a 6.6 UZR, which is pretty good. At least, until you look elsewhere.

C. Izturis: 10.8
E. Andrus: 10.7
E. Aybar: 7.8

I don't trust UZR, and a lot of other people don't.

Morales would have been my next pick as well for first. Tex beating him out may have to do with the center-stage of New York.
