If Jeter has a decent year at SS (and how the hell does he win a gold glove in the first place???? much less 3?) one year and some rookie in KC puts up some sick % stats at the same spot.... DJ will get the award because he will have more coverage (and better offensive stats... which writers love... no mater what award it is for)

Oh I get what you mean, I thought you ment the actual award itself changed its description. It is suppose to only be about defense. Jeter winning the Gold Glove over Gonzo this year at SS was a complete joke, I dunno how you think Crede is getting robbed though (Especially this past season with Chavez...did Chavez really win due to a popularity contest? - Not to mention Mike Lowell played sick D this past season too)
