Sorry this is late, but fuckin Mark Grudzielanek got the 2B gold glove? That's bullshit man, Mark Ellis of the A's deserved it. Injuries and all he's still a better second baseman.

How do they decide the gold glove. Do they do it based on highest fielding % or just who they think is the best?

It's subjective.

Grudzy got it because he turned an absurd amount of DP's and he's 73 years old (consider it a lifetime achievement award like Ron Dayne's Heisman).

I agree, though, Mark Ellis is a better defensive 2B and had a nice year.

Plus he played for the Royals so I think it was a pity award

It's gotta be subjective. I think it's "outta sight, outta mind" type mentality. How Ellis wasn't on the radar is beyond me
