Criteria for choosing Golden Glove Awards in MLB

Found it to be interesting and thought I would pass it on...


Managers and coaches in each league vote for the Gold Glove Award, with the caveats that you can only vote for players in your league but can't select players on your own team. There is also a statistical component that accounts for a portion of the results.


Here are the full list of winners for 2015...
