Me: Funny you should ask that. Because I wrote about DeShields defensive excellence just this week. There are some tremendous center fielders in the AL, but the defending champ, Byron Buxton, has played only 28 games and was just recently sent down to the minors, so I think the race is wide open. Leonys Martin and DeShields have graded out as the best so far on the defensive analytics scale. Kevin Kiermaier is also an outstanding defender with two Gold Gloves of his own, but he's just now coming back after missing two months. And someday, Mike Trout is going to win a Gold Glove, too.
Elvis Andrus, Rangers lifer? Why current market means he likely stays in Arlington, for now.
