Four Red Sox players have been named as finalists for this season's Gold Glove Awards.

First baseman Adrian Gonzalez, second baseman Dustin Pedroia, third baseman Kevin Youkilis and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury each have a chance to bring home the individual accolade.

Only the winners at each respective position have been announced in the past. But this season, finalists were chosen, and the winner will be announced during an ESPN2 telecast on Tuesday night.

Gonzalez will be competing with Tampa Bay's Casey Kotchman and New York's Mark Teixeira.

Pedroia is matched up against Texas' Ian Kinsler and New York's Robinson Cano.

Youkilis, meanwhile, joins Texas' Adrian Beltre and Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria as the AL's third-base finalists.

And Ellsbury will square off with Detroit's Austin Jackson and Los Angeles' Peter Bourjos to be considered the best center-field defender.
