Sure, this time of the year is slow but I love the fact that the awards start to come out. Today the A.L. gold glove winners were announced. What is truly amazing about the release is that both Ichiro and Hunter have now both pulled in 9 (yes, 9) gold gloves each. The three newcomers to the list are Adam Jones, Evan Longoria and Mark Buehrle.
Here is the full list:
- C, Joe Mauer, Twins
- 1B, Mark Teixeira, Yankees
- 2B, Placido Polanco, Tigers
- 3B, Evan Longoria, Rays
- SS, Derek Jeter, Yankees
- OF, Torii Hunter, Angels
- OF, Adam Jones, Orioles
- OF, Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners
- P, Mark Buehrle, White Sox
The National League Gold Glove winners will be announced on Wednesday, 11/11/2009.
For the record, Triples Alley has a great breakdown on Joe Mauer and if he should have won the gold glove.
