More Gold Glove Griping

Apparently a "dirty" hand doesn't help you in the infield...

The Chicago Tribune:

For what it's worth, during the regular season Detroit was an average fielding team, allowing the seventh-fewest unearned runs in the American League. The pitching staff combined to commit 15 errors during the season, only 10 more than they did during the World Series. Oddly, Kenny Rogers, who on Thursday was awarded his fifth Gold Glove, had five errors during the regular season, tied with Florida's Dontrelle Willis and Cleveland's Paul Byrd for the most among big-league pitchers.

Huh? How on Earth did this guy get a Gold Glove? What does Kenny Rogers have on Major League Baseball that he can rank at the top in terms of number of errors committed and still get a Gold Glove, and when he has "dirty" hands, he simply gets asked to wash up?
