10 Its so obvious that offence counts when they allocate them (Varitek over Molina? Give me a break)
9 Have you seen what they look like? Damn they look cheap and tacky
8 When in doubt, give it to whoever won it last year
7 They serve to highlight how the value of defence has diminished in recent years. Where’s the pomp and circumstance?
6 They seem to be doled out to guys who people think deserve some award but are unlikely to get one (Jeter)
5 Reputations mean that too many players get more Gold Gloves than they deserve e.g. 1999 when Palmeiro won a Gold Glove as a DH even though David Segui was awesome at first that year
4 You can count on one hand how many players got into The Hall because of their glove. I mean, how long did it take for Mazeroski to get in? Its what players do most of and the thing players get least recognition for!
3 You know there are people who base their choices on fielding percentage and that really is the most pointless and meaningless stat in the history of stats
2 What sort of award is it when Kenny Rogers is included especially after the season he’s had and when there are guys like Buerhle and Mussina out there?
1 They don’t actually indicate who the best defensive players are, do they?
