The Gold Glove award is about DEFENSE, not OFFENSE...that's what the Silver Slugger Award is for.
However, i must agree Jeter didn't deserve a Gold Glove Award. He's not the best shortstop in the AL. But, his NAME is pretty big, so, he got the nod.

The GG award has become about offense just as much as defense. Look at the winners this year - every one is a great hitter except probably Gutierrez. Most of those guys are solid fielders but the best at their positions? I don't think so.
