Player #1
87GP, 86 games started at SS, .983 fielding%, 4.01RF, +15.4 ZR, 1.106 EFF.
Player #2
138GP, 129 games started at SS, .983 fielding%, 4.20RF, +10.9 ZR, 1.046 EFF.

I'd think about it like this. The first player saved 15 runs with his glove, the second player 11. Is it better to have the 15 runs saved plus 40 games of replacement-level play, or the 11 runs saved? Depends how much you think a replacement level shortstop can provide you on defense. I think in OOTP it's pretty easy to find an average defender at SS off the scrap heap, so I would find the 15-run player more valuable and worthier of the Gold Glove.
