The voting was slightly altered this year. Since its inception in 1957, the Gold Glove has relied solely on votes by Major League managers and coaches to determine the best defensive players. Managers and coaches got an assist this year from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), and for the first time, Rawlings collaborated with SABR to formally incorporate sabermetrics as a component in determining winners. A committee of experts in baseball analytics and defensive measurement devised the SABR Defensive Index (SDI), which draws on and aggregates two types of existing defensive metrics: those derived from batted balls, location-based data and those collected from play-by-play accounts. The three metrics representing batted-ball data include defensive runs saved (from Baseball Info Solutions), ultimate zone rating (developed by sabermetician Mitchel Lichtman) and runs effectively defended (created by SABR's Chris Dial). The two metrics included in the SDI from play-by-play data are defensive regression analysis, created by committee member Michael Humphreys, and total zone rating. The plan, according to Rawlings and SABR, is to have the SDI complement the judgment of the managers and coaches. The SABR Defensive Index will account for 30 total votes -- or approximately 25 percent -- of the Gold Glove Award selection process, and will be added to the votes from the managers and coaches.
All I know is, I love out tubby lil' guy at the hot corner. I don't care about the rest of them. And why is AJ on the list? Is catcher that bad around the league?
They added a SABR element to the balloting so that is probably why AJ is listed. He had a bad playoff of course but this is a regular season award. In any case Yadier is a lock.
Yadier was a given but Wainwright, BS! At least Zack will get the Silver Slugger which is more prestigious because all pitchers are proud of their hitting.
Was upset Uribear didn't win, but at least someone other than Wright won for once. Fuck Adam Wainwright. Love seeing that fucker get hung with the L three times this postseason.
