OT - I was looking at Hernandez's fielding record and saw he won 11 straight Gold Gloves (very impressive...hadn't remembered he won that many), and then looked at more recent 1b gg winners. Can someone explain to me how Eric Hosmer can win GG's in the American league, and one in 2017, then come to the Padres in 2018 and have almost identical fielding stats as 2017 (and slightly better than the Rizzo and Freeman (they tied for the 2018 GG) and not win in 2018? What?...do they just put names in a hat? LOL
Rafael Palmeiro won the AL 1st Baseman Gold Glove Award in 1999 playing 28 games at 1B and 128 as a DH.
