Jay not among Gold Glove finalists

ST. LOUIS - Jon Jay may win a Gold Glove at some point in his career. It wont come this year. Rawlings announced the finalists for the Gold Glove Awards Monday and the talented Cardinals outfielder was not among the three National League finalists for center field. Selected instead were Michael Bourn of the Atlanta Braves, Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Drew Stubbs of the Cincinnati Reds. Voting was done by managers and up to six coaches per team. They are not allowed to vote for players on their own team. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny campaigned numerous times for Jay to be considered for a Gold Glove Award. Jay didnt commit an error in the regular season and made several highlight reel catches near or at the wall in center field. Working against Jay was the fact that he only played in 117 games due a shoulder injury suffered while slamming into the wall in April. Catcher Yadier Molina was the only Cardinals player listed among the finalists. Hes going for his fifth straight Gold Glove Award. The awards will be announced Tuesday night at 8 p.m. CT. Former Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith will participate in the presentation.
