O/T, Slightly, Should Hodges Go In HoF Ahead of Santo
Posted By: howard
Both Santo and Hodges were great fielders and multiple GG winners. But GG voting has been notoriously poor since the inception of the award and as such is not really a good barometer of defensive skill. Certain players, including Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith and Jim Kaat were "automatically" given the award year after year. They certainly were great defensively but there are plenty of folks who will tell you that Clete Boyer should have won a GG or two over Robinson and in 1971 Graig Nettles lost the award to Robinson despite having one of the all time great fielding seasons.
