Gold Glovers of the decade しか~し utley still hasn't won a gold glove, but that's the voters' fault because he's deserved three or four of them already. and what a strange trip it's been. he began his college career as a shortstop, then spent some time at dh before finally shifting to second base. in the minors, the phillies turned him into a third baseman, but that shift was reversed when third baseman david bell
joined the franchise. finally, utley was back at second base, where he belonged. frankly, utley doesn't have the arm to play third base, and his relatively weak arm does hurt him when trying to turn double plays. but he still has the range of a shortstop, and makes an immense number of plays to both his left and his right that most second basemen simply don't make.
