    No Gold Gloves For Albies Or Donaldson

    Nolan Arrendo gets it at third base, so that's no surprise how good he is. But Albies loses the vote to Kolten Wong. Figures the Cardinals would find another way to stick it to Braves.

    Bill James, Peter gammons, Rob neyer etc Voted Wong unanimously in the fielding bible awards.

    Second Base – Kolten Wong, St. Louis Cardinals

    Kolten Wong has earned the title of best defensive second baseman the last two seasons, becoming an efficient machine when it comes to turning ground balls into outs. Last year he edged out DJ LeMahieu by five points. This time he was a unanimous selection. Wong stands out for getting outs on balls in the '34' hole that other second basemen don't reach. He also brings an aggressiveness to the position. Wong made 38 plays in which he sprinted to either reach a pop up or go after a ground ball, five more than any other second baseman.

    Previous Winners:
    2018 Kolten Wong 2011 Dustin Pedroia
    2017 DJ LeMahieu 2010 Chase Utley
    2016 Dustin Pedroia 2009 Aaron Hill
    2015 Ian Kinsler 2008 Brandon Phillips
    2014 Dustin Pedroia 2007 Aaron Hill
    2013 Dustin Pedroia 2006 Orlando Hudson

    I'm guessing that the aribitrary nature of the Gold Glove awards is why Wilson began its Defensive Player of the Year awards. In this, Freeman won for the second straight year. Also winning, at shortstop, was Andrelton Simmons = who likewise was passed over for a Gold Glove in 2019.
