I was comparing their skills against other playing the same position
Tex was/is a sure fire gold glove at first every year.
Hamilton – Not at a gold glove level yet. I do expect his defense to get better as he plays more games. He missed a lot of playing time and seasoning of the last few years and is still sort of learning on the job.
