Mauer NOT a finalist at 1b
Dozier a finalist at 2b
Buxton a finalist in CF
Thoughts?

A travesty that Mauer isnt a finalist...he had a terrific year in the field.

It's a damn disgrace this award should have nothing to do with hitting just fielding but they continually give to guys with bats as well
Joe Mauer DRS t-2nd (7), UZR/150 1st (9.1), UZR 1st (7.1), RngR 1st (3.9)
Mitch Moreland DRS 1st (10), UZR/150 2nd (5.7) UZR 3rd (4.0), RngR 3rd (2.4)
Carlos Santana DRS 1st (10), UZR/150 3rd (4.7), UZR 2nd (4.7) RngR 4th (1.4)
Eric Hosmer DRS 10th (-7), UZR/150 9th (-7), UZR 9th (-0.3), RngR 12th (-4.4)

I think we should likely have 2 gold gloves but Mauer getting one instead of Dozier. I read an article that had the defensive stats* that said Kinzler and Pedrioa were much better than Dozier in the field. I think there may have been years in the past Dozier was more deserving than this year so...at least he got one. My guess is that the reason Dozier got his gold glove is the same reason Mauer didn't get his. It's dumb but at least some of it came the Twins way and Dozier has been deserving in the past.
* I've read that defensive stats may not be all that reliable but the article I read there was such a large gap between Kinzler and Dozier that's probably enough to give those numbers some merit.

Buxton wins DPOY which I honestly barely knew was a thing before this week.
