Jose Reyes has really played some terrific defense this year. \u00a0He’s showed great range, often diving to his left or right to grab balls that seem destined for the outfield. \u00a0Often he’s even able to then pop-up and throw the guy out at first with his great arm. \u00a0He has made 15 errors, but errors rarely tell the whole story.<\/p>\n

The problem with him being awarded a Gold Glove, or a Silver Slugger, is that he hasn’t played the full season. \u00a0He’s projected to end the season with right around 125 games or so. \u00a0That’s about 77 percent of the season, which isn’t horrible, but there are shortstops that have played more than that and have played good defense. \u00a0Of course Troy Tulowitzki played in only 122 games last year, made 10 errors, and won the Gold Glove. \u00a0You never know exactly what voters are looking for, and how they judge all 16 or so shortstops without easily being able to watch every game each one of them plays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tulowitzki will probably win both the Silver Slugger and the Gold Glove award for NL shortstops, but Jose Reyes has certainly played defense worthy of the award. \u00a0 Perhaps if he had stayed on the field for the whole season, he would’ve had a better case for the Silver Slugger, but as it is Tulowitzki has a 60 point lead in OPS, mostly in SLG, and has played nearly every game of the season. \u00a0 One day Jose Reyes will win a Gold Glove, because he does deserve one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
