It’s hard for a Gold Glove to be egregious, because performance in the field is difficult to capture statistically … unless you’re judging the fielding of Palmeiro in 1999, because the 34-year-old Rangers slugger appeared at first base in just 28 games that season, usually slotting in as a designated hitter.
