MLB’s system of Gold Gloves is very flawed. Once a player wins one, their reputation precedes them for the next year’s voting.
For example, there was no way Derek Jeter should have won the Gold Glove last season. He may have had the highest fielding percentage, but lacked the range of some other shortstops.
A handful of strong offensive players are often overlooked for their defense.
Here's a list of the 10 most underrated defenders in baseball today.
