elvis defense

from espn.com and hardballtimes

is 5th out of 9 qualifying SS in the AL in fielding %
scutaro is 1st with .992
jeter is 2nd with .986

his range factor is 5.12 putting him in 1st (jeter is last)
the difference between andrus and 2nd place (scutaro) guy larger than the difference between the 2nd place guy and 9th place guy (jeter)

Zone Rating
jeter is first with .858
elvis is 2nd with .842
scutaro is 3rd with .830

plays made outside of zone
scutaro is 1st with 51
andrus is 4th with 33

based on those simple factors, think andrus has a shot at beating scutaro for gold glove?
