This is fucking grade-A BS. Anyone with a brain knows Ryan should have won. Sure he sucks as a hitter, but who fucking cares? Ryan shits on everyone in the key stat categories.

Edit: My bad, saw the name "Cano" and went into instant Yankee hating mode ignoring the fact that he's not a shortstop lol. Ryan still got snubbed big time.

Robinson Cano is a second baseman. J.J. Hardy won the shortstop Gold Glove, and while Ryan is clearly the best defensive SS in the game, Hardy is pretty good over there.

Well when you look at the defensive skills of the guy... I admit I feel it's kind of unfair...

But in the end this is what I will say. "Well Brendon, this is what you get from your sub.200 AVG.. Now if you want your GG next year, go get it (and hit as we know you can !).

But it's called a golden glove, not a golden glove/bat. Offense shouldn't be irrelevent.

I gave up on the Gold Glove in 1999, the year Rafael Palmeiro beat out David Segui for the 1st base GG *and* beat Edgar for the DH Silver Slugger. Granted, Palmeiro had a slightly better slash line (.324/.420/.630) than Edgar (.337/.447/.554), so that award isn't a travesty, but Palmeiro played 28 games at first base in 1999. Twenty fucking eight.

I don't consider the Gold Glove a legitimate award anymore.

Couldn't agree more... As I hate the fact it's probably his offense that cost him ,I totaly agree that it shouldn't be involve. Just saying that it's clearly within Ryan range to get one (should already be done by the way).
