We continue our Gold Glove analysis for the 2000s on MLB Monday, exploring those players who deserved to win awards for their defensive prowess—but did not, ever, in their careers. However, there are so many players yet to cover in this decade, we may need a third installment for this decade, which has never happened before now. Alas, we should have covered more players in Part I of this decade, but we will do it.

Chase Utley, 2B: We gave him our NL MVP nod for 2008, when he topped the majors in dWAR (3.5) without winning a Gold Glove. But what is staggering is that he posted 17.4 dWAR for his career and never won a GG vote. Pure robbery, considering his prime years from 2004-2013 when he compiled a whopping 16.4 dWAR yet never was acknowledged for it properly. That is pretty crazy, when you think about it. We got you, dude.

Toby Hall, C: He topped all American Leaguers in 2005 with 2.7 dWAR, and he didn’t win a Gold Glove for the effort. He certainly was hurt by his weak bat and the expansion-team realities of his starting gig for Tampa Bay. But from 2003-2005, he put up 5.2 dWAR for that mediocre team, which is impressive. Yeah, he only finished his nine-season career with 6.1 dWAR, but we can’t imagine being a backstop for those devils.

Craig Counsell, INF: It’s ironic that as he was winning two World Series with two different 1990s expansion teams (1997, 2001), he finally came into his own as a defensive wizard. From 2001, when he was in his age-30 season, to 2001, when he was in his age-40 season, he compiled 16.5 dWAR—including seasons of 3.5 and 2.7 dWAR, respectively (2005-2006), where he didn’t win a Gold Glove vote. Messed up.

Willy Taveras, CF: For his first two full MLB seasons (2005-2006), he was a sensation in putting up 3.7 dWAR combined, along with a .284 average and 67 steals. This was his early peak, however, as he was basically out of the majors after the 2009 season. What else can we say? He only played in 670 MLB games, overall, and his whole career amounted to 5.1 WAR, broken down into 4.5 dWAR total and not much else.

Jamey Carroll, 2B: We focus on 2006 with this guy, when he peaked at 2.2 dWAR, in his only full season as a team’s starter. No GG vote win, though, despite his then-best oWAR output playing for Colorado. He went on to post 1.8 dWAR at age 38 in 2012, as well, so there were a few different seasons here where the voters could have done the right thing—but failed. Alas, he never found the combo to unlock the Gold Glove votes.

Pedro Feliz, 3B: In 2006-2007, while playing for the sad-sack San Francisco Giants, he posted 4.8 dWAR combined and did not win the GG honors. It certainly hurt him that his oWAR in those seasons was in the negative each year. No one likes that look of all glove and no bat anymore. He also finished his career with an oWAR mark that was underwater. But for those two shining seasons in the House that Steroids Built …

Bill Hall, SS: Here is one of those unique cases of a player setting a lifetime-best mark in dWAR (2.2) in the same year as he posts his career-high oWAR (4.2)—and still he doesn’t win the Gold Glove. He was just in his age-26 season back in 2006 when all this glory came hurtling toward him. Alas, it was his early peak, as he posted just 0.4 WAR from then on to the end of his career in 2012. Sometimes, the window just shuts.

Joe Crede, 3B: For a guy who experienced some incredible luck and timing, he also didn’t get rewarded individually for his excellence. His entire career came in this single decade (8.5 dWAR), which featured the only World Series title for his primary team since 1917. He himself posted 6.7 dWAR combined from 2006-2009 without winning a Gold Glove. His oWAR and dWAR (2.6) peaks also came in the same season (2006).

Brandon Inge, 3B: A converted catcher (3.0 dWAR there from 2001-2003, so he wasn’t bad), he started to shine at the hot corner at age 27. And in 2006, his 2.8 dWAR at third was the top mark among all AL players, regardless of position—but not GG vote win, for whatever reason (prolly his low batting average?). From 2005-2010, he compiled 9.9 dWAR without winning a Gold Glove. He was an All-Star pick in 2009, though.

Clint Barmes, SS/2B: He might have been ROTY in 2005 if not for a freak injury, and that summer, his wife gifted us an autographed ball of his (don’t ask). Over 13 seasons, he accumulated 16.2 dWAR with 1.5-plus dWAR seasons in 2005, 2006, and 2009-2012. His 3.2 dWAR in 2006 was his career high, although he also topped the NL at all positions with 2.5 dWAR in 2011. Yet nary a Gold Glove victory, because he couldn’t hit.

Jason Bartlett, SS: From 2005-2009, he earned 7.1 dWAR without winning a Gold Glove, even though his reputation for fielding excellence was clear and established. His career high came in 2007 (2.3 dWAR) when he also set a then-best record for oWAR. Later, in his best oWAR season (2009), he posted 1.2 dWAR still without winning a GG vote. It seems like he could ever put everything together enough for the voters.
