SAN DIEGO -- A year ago, Wil Myers found his name squarely among the top defensive first basemen in the sport. On the night Major League Baseball's Gold Glove Award winners were announced, Myers was a finalist, and a very deserving one.
He didn't win. But he could have. And at the time, it felt like a future Gold Glove Award was inevitable. After all, Myers had dazzled defensively in his first full season at the position.
One year later, that Gold Glove couldn't feel any further away. Myers isn't among the finalists for the award, which will be announced tonight.
