I was all upset BP lost till I saw Trout didn't get one either. Wow.
No Reds among the winners.

It's pretty amazing you can have six nominees and none of them win. Disappointed but not really surprised.
How can the Reds have one of the best defensive teams and not have one Gold Glove winner? It's a slap in the face.

I'll admit I'm biased on the subject, but you'll have a hell of a time convincing me that Darwin Barney is a better second baseman than Brandon Phillips.
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
As much as it pains me to give any Cubs players proper due, Darwin was insane at 2B defensively this year. He lead all second basemen in UZR this year and only had 2 errors. I know errors are an extremely flawed stat but just having 2 with the kind of range he has was amazing. Gahh... now I need to go take a shower for defending a Cub.
I was surprised to see McCutchen win it over Bourn this year. Bourn was probably the best defensive CF in baseball this year. Also, Brendan Ryan not winning it seemed almost criminal. He's been arguably the best defensive SS in baseball for the past couple of years now and had the best UZR amongst all SS.
Barney won GG over Phillips because of his fielding percentage? What an absolute joke. Actually watching the games should be a requirement of the voters. #turrible
The advanced stats also show Barney was a better fielder as well. Phillips was great this year but Barney was better. Taking another shower now.
Darwin Barney agrees:
http://muskat.mlblogs.com/2012/10/30...ns-gold-glove/“You don’t expect to pass a guy like Brandon Phillips,” Barney said. “He’s exceptional at what he does. He was the best in the game for a long time, and I can’t sit here and say I’m better than him or anything like that. I had a good season and I think either of us could’ve won it. Fortunately for me, I did. He very easily could have won just as easily as I could.”
I was too. But perhaps that feat alone wasn't enough. I think they actually got it right for NL pitcher.
I think the Bourne snub was maybe the biggest of all. He should've flat out won it, and by a mile. Cutch was actually a below average fielder this year, so it doesn't make sense at all.
Given who Cozart was up against, he actually should've won it. It's amazing thought that Clint Barmes wasn't considered at all when he was in theory the best guy at the position!
