Correct me if I'm wrong as I wasn't really watching baseball at the time, but from what I've read Jeter wouldn't have won all those gold gloves if he was playing today. He had a safe glove at short and wasn't making many errors, but according to new advanced stats that were not available back then, he wasn't really all that good defensively as he didn't have the best range.
You're not wrong. They gave a lot of gold gloves to great offensive players who looked decent defensively.
Jeter also made a lot of jump throws that looks good and difficult but would be easy play for any SS with decent range.
