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.
