They did. This would be why Derek Jeter is now a two-time Gold Glove winner. The ironing is delicious!

Those are quite possibly the two most useless statistics in baseball, my friend.
The funny part is, with Orlando Cabrera, you have a player who was defensively essentially the same as Derek Jeter this season. They both had a RATE of 105 and Jeter had 31 runs saved above replacement to Cabrera's 29. You literally could not have picked two more equal players.
