Carlos Correa: Derek Jeter 'didn't deserve any' of his five Gold Gloves
Quote:
Jeter was awarded the American League Gold Glove in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010, but he wouldn't have won any if it was up to Correa. The free agent -- who the Yankees may sign, by the way -- backed up his critiques of Jeter with fielding analytics.
He mentioned Jeter's minus-165 Defensive Runs Saved. Correa has a DRS of 67 in his seven years in Houston.

According to two historical play-by-play-based systems, Baseball Prospectus’s Fielding Runs Above Average and Baseball-Reference’s Total Zone, Jeter has cost his team more in the field than any other player in history, with both methods assessing the damage at 230 to 260 runs.

Seems like Correa might have a good point.
