National League 2014 Gold Glove Awards Announced

The National League Gold Glove winners for the 2014 MLB season were announced on Tuesday night.

Awards given at the end of the season sometimes seem like they were invented to give sports fans something to argue about. There might be no award about which that is more true than the Gold Glove awards given for the best fielders at each position each season.

That said, this year’s group of National League Gold Glove winners is hard to argue with. There are two Dodgers, two Braves, and two Rockies that take up the majority of the awards. Some people quarrel with these awards after certain seasons because they only reward players who have been highly visible, players from big-market teams.

The fact that two deserving members of the Rockies were rewarded this year would seem to buck that theory, at least as far as 2014 is concerned.

Check out the complete list of National League Gold Glove winners below:

C Yadier Molina, Cardinals
1B Adrian Gonzalez, Dodgers
2B DJ LeMahieu, Rockies
3B Nolan Arenado, Rockies
SS Andrelton Simmons, Braves
LF Christian Yelich, Marlins
CF Juan Lagares, Mets
RF Jason Heyward, Braves
P Zack Greinke, Dodgers
