I think Matt Kemp pawned his gold glove to pay for hitting lessons. A calculated gamble on his part, trying to turn himself into a top-level power hitter, but it definitely seems to have cost him a step fielding. Don't know if it's a result of just different physical training, or different focus, but yikes.
