I don't recall that off hand, but it's probably in the player scouting report and means he has a good glove / he doesn't make many errors. EDIT: You can probably confirm whether it means good or bad by looking at that player's fielding %s.

Ahh, I think I see that, it's like having a 3 man midfield in football (soccer to you guys
), 2B SS 3B and a 3 man defence, RF CF LF, the two groups of players play in similar areas of the pitch/field, whatever you call it.
By that I mean the 2 basemen and the SS play in an area adjacent to each other, as do the RF CF and LF.
The mention of the glove is in the scouting report, and mainly I've seen that mentioned for pitchers.
