CLEVELAND | However slender the chance for David DeJesus to win a Gold Glove — no full-time left fielder has done so in the American League since Rickey Henderson in 1981 — he continues to climb the Royals' career and single-season charts for outfield assists.

At the start of the 2009 season, it is almost certain that most people in baseball would never have put Zack Greinke's name on the list for A.L. Cy Young Award candidates. However, for the majority of the season, Greinke has been one of the best pitchers in baseball.
