Not all Gold Gloves are created equal.
Check out their actual fielding stats:
Hernandez led the league in double plays turned 6x (the guy was doing 3-6-3 double plays),total zone runs at 1B 8x , assists at 1B 5x.
Mattingly led the league in double plays turned 2x, total zone runs as 1B 1x, assists at 1B zero times.
Please show me someone that thinks Mattingly was a better fielder than Hernandez.
Also note that Hernandez career OBP was much higher than Mattingly's and his OPS+ was slightly better too.
