AL Gold Glove Awards Announced

The American League winners who graced us with their highlight-reel plays all season long were unveiled Tuesday, but mostly featured a cast of familiar faces:

C Joe Mauer, Twins - second straight year

1B Mark Teixeira, Yankees - third Gold Glove, first since 2006

2B Placido Polanco, Tigers - second Gold Glove, 2007 and 2009

3B Evan Longoria, Rays - first Gold Glove

SS Derek Jeter, Yankees - who said he can't field? Fourth Gold Glove, first since 2006. 

OF - Torii Hunter, Angels - ninth straight Gold Glove

OF - Adam Jones, Orioles - first Gold Glove

OF - Ichiro, Mariners - ninth straight Gold Glove

P - Mark Buehrle, White Sox - first Gold Glove

What do you guys think? Did they miss any players that should be awarded for strong defensive play in 2009?

I'm biased but

Kurt Suzuki should have won the Catcher gold glove

Over Mauer?

I know I’m biased too, but no.

Franklin Gutierrez

He’s by far the best defensive CF in the AL, and he’s a big reason for Seattle’s ressurgance this year. He should have plenty of time to win a these, though.

Otherwise, just a few minor quibbles: Andrus over Jeter and Laird over Mauer. Could go either way, though.

what ever

This pains me but it sure looks like Jeter has actually earned his 2nd out of 4 gold gloves….but do these even mean anything anymore!

David DeJesus

Defensively, he had a perfect season. No errors in over a year, 13 outfield assists and spent no time on the disabled list. Why the hell did he not win the award? Well keep it up David, maybe you will win next year! You’re still my favorite player!!

Too bad Jack Wilson split time between the NL and AL this year

Nice to see Jeet get a gold glove.

Was he the best defensive SS in the AL this year? I doubt it. I also don’t care.

Good for Jeet. People still can knock him, but he’s still a very good defender.

Street has be bothered by a soar shoulder since the first week of spring training. Huston Street has put behind his postseason flop last season, when he lost two games in the NL division series against Philadelphia. "If you continue to feel sorry for yourself, it's wasted energy," he said. "It's counter-productive." The Rockies showed their faith in Street, signing him to a three-year deal worth $22.5 million in January. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)
