The Phillies have four Gold Glove finalists

Remember the days when the Phillies were mostly considered to be knuckle dragging brutes whose sole purpose was to “see baseball, smash baseball”? They considered defense to something akin to abstract art - you may not get it, but it’s certainly there for your eyeballs to take in.

Those days are long gone, my friend.

The Rawlings Gold Glove finalists have been announced and the Phillies have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR finalists. That’s right, the Phillies have enough players considered to be good enough at defense that you have to use more than one finger to count them.
