Santo had 3 gold gloves 6 years into his Cubs career and A-Ram's got none. But from what I hear he's improved his glove, but A-Ram's a better hitter and...he's clutch. give it a few more years and than I think he could be better than Santo.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The Gold Glove award lost alot of respect in '99 when Palmeiro won it.

And although I'm on the Ramirez-is-not-and-likely-will-not-be-better-than-Santo side of things, I do think it's fair to point out that Ramirez very likely should have won a GG by now. Was it two years ago that he was great and somehow didn't win it?
