So I was perusing the prospect list from the guys who came over from ARI in the RJ deal, and I was pretty excited about Ohlendorf, kinda excited about Jackson and not so much about Gonzalez. But two columns today quote "annonymous execs" who say that Gonzalez would be the first one that they would ask for in a deal. Both Bill Madden and Ken Rosenthal echoed the same opinion. As a matter of fact, here is the excerpt from Madden's article in the daily news today.
Very interesting to say the least. If he has so much value, why not shift Robby to 1b and move Gonzalez to 2b? Or maybe he is a nice chip to package with a pitching prospect to get something nice. Who knows, but if this kid really has this much value, then this is a damn good deal.
