Gold, Silver..too bad there's no bronze. Actually, CC will get a bronze, because I think he'll be third in the CY Young race. Greinke seems to be the top pick. I think it's Monday or Tuesday that it's announced.

Chris, did Jeter get a gold glove in his rookie year? This year's very special, with the championship and the awards. But did 96 top it?

No, but in his rookie year, he won Rookie of the Year, and was 4th in the league in singles (142) which was good for first the next year.

He hasn't won a gold glove in 3 years (won one 04,05,06). I think this year is especially impressive because of the way he looked to improve himself in the off season, making such an improvement at his age. Jeter was never as strong up the middle, but it became glaring in the past couple of years to me, and was verified by a report that he had the worst range of any regular shortstop in the game in the game.

No longer.

He is a winning player from attitude to skill, to off the field conduct.
