It's all a bit different this year, with three nominees for each Gold Glove announced in advance, and also the outfielders are now split into LF, CF and RF, rather than CF, CF and CF as has traditionally been the case. Two Diamondbacks are nominated - and it really should have been a clean-sweep in the outfield, but it seems Justin Upton's errors were too large a splinter in the eye of the voters. Carlos Beltran somehow managed to get nominated, which can only have been some kind of typographical error.
