Default Who can you compare Derek Jeter going back to 1869.
Posted By: Greg Ecklund

Don't give the managers and coaches too much credit - Rafael Palmeiro got a Gold Glove in 1999, a year in which he was at first base for 28 games and DH for 135. I'd be willing to bet that those who vote put about as much thought into it as I do concerning what I'm going to have for breakfast tomorrow. The managers and coaches tend to just vote the same names year in year out until the regular winners either retire or go into a steep and noticeable decline.
