BASEBALL ABSTRACT BILL JAMES
BASEBALL ABSTRACT BILL JAMES
Should Gold Gloves be considered at all in Hall of Fame voting?
After all, Rafael Palmeiro won one in 1999 and played only 28 games in the field.
Players win them over and over if they have sufficient reputation. Even my beloved Ryne Sandberg probably didn't deserve all the GGs he received, but he was a bigger name than Jose Lind.
And there's a story somewhere about when an old coach was asked how his inept fielder could possibly win a GG, the coach said, "With his bat."
So, is the award a sham?
If so, should it be considered at all in HOF votes?

Bill James Historical Baseball Abstracts
Gold Gloves are a small part of what should be taken into account when voting for Hall of Famers. The voting system for the GG is seriously flawed, but it is an acknowledgement (of sorts) of fielding prowess and hardly something that should be taken as the gospel truth. It should be thrown in the pot with everything else in a player's career and given some weight when sifting through the candidates.
