Jeter, Teixeira and Cano Win Gold Gloves: The Debate Begins

The Yankees announced yesterday that three of their players won gold gloves. For Derek Jeter it was his fifth, Teixeira's fourth and Cano's first. Jeter and Teixeira have won the last two seasons in a row.


As a team, the Yankees led the major leagues in fielding percentage (.988) and had the fewest errors of any team in the major leagues. Both marks were franchise records.


Jeter's awards keep piling up as his career moves on into what most people view a player's inevitable decline. Though he hit a career low .270 with 10 home runs and 67 RBI, he commited only 6 errors for best among AL shortstops according to Elias Sports bureau. The announcement of Jeter winning caused an uproar all over the internet, especially on Twitter.
