Im sure he looked at the only numbers he thought matters to glod glove voters. The offensive numbers. I think after backlash to that controversial Jeter year 8 years ago where he was one of the worst defenders in baseball and won the award, they basically defaulted to picking out of a hat between UZR, dWAR, etc. for the award.
