M I L B Gold Glove Awards

PostMon Jun 08, 2015 7:46 pm

Watching a recent Rangers broadcast and they mentioned Hanser Alberto was a minor league gold glove SS.
Thought it might be interesting to look up who else has won one of these and throw it open for discussion.
Does knowing these are gold glove winners make them more attactive as a prospect?
Does it make them any more likely to end up playing on an MLB roster eventually.
As I dig up more of these from past years it may be interesting how many followed up with not only making the show but also winning a big league gold glove.

P Craig Westcott San Jose San Francisco
C Tucker Barnhart Dayton Cincinnati
1B Efren Navarro Salt Lake Los Angeles (AL)

Would have thought 4 years later more of these would be making a name for themselves.

From what I have read the minor league gold glove only goes back to 2011. Apparently there were award winners from the 60s that were called silver glove awards.

Phegley is up with Oakland back catcher I believe he's hitting fairly well. If he keeps it up I expect he'll have a desirable card next year.

Suarez got some time in Detroit last year.
