Another SS on the market


Recommended Posts

His bat is about the same as Yuni's, but it looks like defensive metrics like him. But, like you said, he will be 35. I'd be underwhelmed, but at $1.5-2.0 million a year, I guess I'd rather have him than YuBet.

You don't have an Adam Wainwright. Easily the best gentlemen in all of sports. You don't have the amount of real good old American men like the Cardinals do. Holliday, Wainwright, Skip, Berkman those 4 guys are incredible people

the Braves beat writers swear Gonzalez deserved a Gold Glove .....IMHO his range is average but he know's how to compensate by positioning himself; and he makes all the routine plays.... get him out of spacious Turner Field & I could see him hit .240 with 20-25 homers at Miller Park.... the cat has a World Series ring & would be a great presence in the clubhouse

Gonzalez is remarkably similar to Yuni at the plate. Hacker extraordinaire. Doesn't take walks. Unlike Yuni, he takes big swings and misses. Lots of strikeouts. The approach gives him a little more power. He's always been a plus fielder, but he'll be 35 next year, and you have to worry about this range. A one year deal for $2.5 million might be passable, if all other options are exhausted. But I'd like better.

 

I should note that I haven't seen him play much the past couple of years - so I can't tell you what I think of his defense other than what others say, and metrics say. A lot of people like him, but I don't know if that's more reputation than reality.
