How good is Andrelton Simmons? He has an off year and still wins a GG.

Heyward should win it. But I doubt he will since RF defense isn't important.
Kinda a no brainer on both counts. Lets just hope they score some dang runs next year. Both guys have room to move forward with the bat.

Defense is not that important. Certainly not as important as grit, clutchness, veteran leadership and a fourth attribute whose name escapes me at the moment.
defense is clearly so important that it makes not scoring runs not matter. oh wait.
you can win 9 gold gloves but if you can't score, you'll still suck. this complete overvaluing of defense is the most ridiculous trend in all of sports.
Of the 10 teams to make the playoffs this year, their overall rankings in runs scored were: #1, #2, #4, #6, #8, #9, #10, #12, #14, and #24.
obviously there is much more to anything than one set of numbers, but the nuttiness of heyward's supposed value is off the charts. defense will never be as valued as highly as it is right now. the braves would be crazy not to trade him.
In the history of baseball, no game has been won without scoring a run.
But congrats to both these guys.
Wilson named both guys the best defensive players at their positions and also named Heyward as their Defensive Player of the Year
