Silver Slugger-Gold Glover Combo

Unlike football, baseball doesn't have offensive and defensive platoons (although some predicted the designated hitter was a first step in that direction). So a player who excels both offensively AND defensively is especially valuable. So I checked to see which players, since the advent of the silver slugger awards at each position in 1980, has been selected for BOTH offensive and defensive awards in the same year. It's not as uncommon is you'd think, which probably reflects that players well-known because of their hitting exploits benefit from that name recongnition when it cames to selecting the best fielders. Anyway, here are the players who've won both in the same year the most times:

7: Barry Bonds, OF (1990-94, 96-97)
7: Ken Griffey, Jr., OF (1991, 93-94, 96-99)
7: Ivan Rodriguez, C (1994-99, 2004)
6: Mike Schmidt, 3B (1980-84, 86)
6: Ryne Sandberg, 2B (1984-85, 88-91)
5: Kirby Puckett, OF (1986-89, 92)
4: Andre Dawson, OF (1980-81, 83, 87)
4: Dale Murphy, OF (1982-85)
4: Roberto Alomar, 2B (1992, 96, 99-2000)

It seems to have become less common on recent years, with no one achieving it more than twice so far in the new century. Also of note: Mike Hampton is the only pitcher to win the gold glove and silver slugger in the same year (2003); Matt Williams is the only player to achieve it in both leagues (1993-94 in NL, 1997 in AL). No one has achieved it at more than one position. Only twice (the NL in 1998 and 2000) has a league had NO ONE win both awards in the same season! The fewest ever to do it in the majors? Two, in 2000-01, 04 and 06. The most? Nine, in 1984.

This list might also support Hall of Fame considerations for Dawson, Murphy and Alomar.

EDIT: It would seem worth mentioning that Schmidt also won a Gold Glove in the four years preceding the start of the Silver Slugger awards (1976-79), and almost certainly would have won a Silver Slugger for thirdbasemen in three of those years (all but 1978), thus giving him a hypothetical total of 9. Of course, if one starts to speculate how many Silver Sluggers earlier players would have earned, you gotta figure that Willie Mays would have earned a lot of them in his 12 Gold Glove years, maybe 9 or 10.
