GOLD GLOVE AWARDED TO JETER

By GEORGE KING

November 1, 2005 -- After being shut out for the first eight years of his career, Derek Jeter has won his second straight Gold Glove, The Post has learned.
According to multiple industry sources, the announcement that Jeter is the AL Gold Glove winner will be made today.

Jeter, whose .979 fielding percentage was second to the Angels' Orlando Cabrera's .988 among AL shortstops, was voted the winner by AL coaches. Jeter's fielding percentage was ninth among major league shortstops.

After committing a career-low 13 errors a year ago, Jeter was charged with 15 this past season when his assists (454) dwarfed Cabrera's (347).

Meanwhile, Alex Rodriguez won his eighth Silver Slugger Award yesterday.

Rodriguez, who won seven Silver Sluggers at shortstop, won for the first time at third base and was joined on the list by Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield, a four-time winner.

Manny Ramirez was among three Boston players on the team, joined by catcher Jason Varitek, a first-time winner, and designated hitter David Ortiz, who made the list for the first time in 2004.



Winners were picked by major league managers and coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players. Selections for each position were based on a combination of offensive statistics.

Not a surprise. The best defensive SSs are in the NL. Still deserving, unlike last year.
