The rookie Donovan was a finalist for the award with teammate and former Gold Glove winner Tommy Edman and Arizona’s Daulton Varsho. “Honestly, it's crazy,” Donovan said during a Tuesday night phone interview. “Me, in the first year winning the utility Gold Glove, it's just — what an honor.” After he was brought up from the minors near the end of April, Donovan received playing time at first, second and third base, along with time in left and right field. The majority of his playing time came as a second baseman where he posted a 1.000 fielding percentage. Donovan committed just seven errors in 395 total chances. His plus-eight defensive runs saved as a third baseman were tied for the sixth most in all of MLB. Donovan, 25, is the first player in Cardinals franchise history to win a Gold Glove in his rookie season. That was news to him. “I mean, the organization is full of such rich history," he said. "I figured someone would have done it. But to have that, honestly, is pretty special.” ------------------------------------------------- follow up to tjc's post [/QUOTE]
