Speaking of Gold Glove winners...
Curtis Granderson hasn't made an error in his major league career yet. What a stud.

That doesn't tell the whole story. OK I don't watch many Tigers games and I am in no way bashing Granderson as a fielder but if you just go on how many errors a player committs you lose out on the person's fielding range. I can go out there and play CF and not make an error but I probably wouldn't be able to get to alot of balls either.
I think that's what he means. Gold gloves mean toffee these days, Even Edgar Renteria has a couple

True, I played with a guy that had a 1.000 fielding percentage in center. He also never threw anyone out and had no range. He would time running catches to be diving misses.
