In an interview with Phil Rogers of MLB.com, Pirates catcher Russell Martin sure seemed to imply that he deserved to win 2013 Gold Glove award instead of the Cardinals' Yadier Molina.

"Do I think I deserved it?" Martin told Rogers. “I wasn't at every game that Molina caught, so I don't know. Statistically, it looks like that's what it was, but I'm not a stats guy. Honestly, who cares? We made it to the playoffs; we had fun doing it. I've won one before. I don't play this game to win awards.

“I know I showed up every day and played the best that I could. That's all that I ask for myself. If I get an award for it, great. If I don't … it would have been fun talking about it 20 years from now, but it's not the reason I play.”

Martin added: "I do think if (Molina) played better than I did defensively last year, then, man, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to play better, try harder, something.”

Rogers seemed to back Martin by pointing out that Martin was credited with 16 Defensive Runs Saved last season compared to Molina's 12 DRS. But as much as I believe in sabermetrics, the formula for calculating DRS for catchers is flawed.
