About an hour ago while I was trying to fix my broken oven Mike Vassallo tweeted the following:
Congrats to #Brewers Aramis Ramirez, who is a finalist for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award at 3B w/Padres' Chase Headley & Mets' David Wright.

Congrats to #Brewers Ryan Braun, who is a finalist for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award in LF w/Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez & Braves' Martin Prado.

To be honest, I don't even recall Gold Glove nominations as being a thing, but apparently they are. The awards will be announced tomorrow night on ESPN2 at 8:30.
The Brewers have won nine Gold Gloves in franchise history but none since Robin Yount at shortstop during his MVP season in 1982. Obviously that means Ryan Braun has never won one. This is Ramirez's 15th major league season and he hasn't either.
Meanwhile, the best defensive Brewer is not up for Gold Glove consideration: Carlos Gomez was not nominated in center field, while Michael Bourn, Andrew McCutchen and Drew Stubbs were. You can see the full list of nominees here.
