The Gold Glove

Joe Posnanski has a post on "interesting" Gold Glove awards:

It has long been accepted -- and for good reason -- that the worst choice ever for Gold Glove was Rafael Palmeiro in 1999. To argue against Raffy is to be arguing for belligerence sake ... the man played 28 games at first base that year and 135 games as a designated hitter. A blunder of that magnitude -- giving a guy a gold glove when he played barely a month's worth of games at a position -- cannot be topped ... unless they decide to give a Gold Glove to someone who played 27 games in left field or an Oscar to Marisa Tomei for her light comedic turn as Joe Pesci's girlfriend.

He goes on to analyze players who only won one Gold Glove in their career, and whether they probably deserved to win more, or didn't deserve to win the one.
