How Is Gurriel not a diamond?

I mean is a battle title not enough SDS? Not only that but Freaking Javier Baez who hasn’t taken a pitch in 3 millennia is a higher overall by three overall points. It isn’t even Like El Pina is bad at fielding. He is in the conversation for gold glove so could someone tell me what I’m missing

Thank you for weighing in, Yuli's mom.

Look at his attributes and tell me which ones are wrong?
TomTim Anderson has been battling the same thing for years. -
Fangraphs has him as a terrible fielder, using gold gloves or being "up for one", is what you are missing. Gold Gloves are nice trophies, but generally they don't really mean to much, plenty of bad fielders got gold glove.s

Different attributes are weighed differently for different positions. For 1B Power is a major factor. He has low power for a 1B
If he was a primary 2B, where power is less important, he would be more than likely be a diamond.

Winning a gold glove at first base is like picking up the "Prettiest" Hooker on Skid Row.

I believe they go by a tooth or tooths system. The more tooths the higher quality the prostitute.

Also to add he was a diamond for months. Plus how would it look him being a diamond and the guy with the most WAR in baseball, well besides Ohtani who's pitching plus hitting and fielding WAR put him ahead, Carlos Correa is a gold.
