January 18, 200323 yr Shortstop Andy Gonzalez made good use of his winter, hitting .300-1-2 in 50 at-bats in the Puerto Rican League. He got significant playing time considering he just turned 21 what i don't understand is what does his age has to do with his playing time.

He got significant playing time considering he just turned 21 what i don't understand is what does his age has to do with his playing time. i read this somewhere but i cant remember where...seems that more and more major league latin ballplayers are doing what jose valentin does and go back home and play winter ball...so they are taking spots away from minor leaguers..so i guess there is some form of hiarchy...
January 18, 200323 yr Is Gonzales highly rated by the Sox? I know he hit about .280 at Bristol last year. Does anyone know where all those studs from last year's Bristol team are going to be playing this year? I'd like to see a few of them skip a classification or two. Especially Webster.
January 18, 200323 yr I read on him somewhere that this year he could vault to being one of the top 2 prospects in our system, probably behind Honel.
January 19, 200323 yr It still blows my mind how a kid so young can come from nowhere and be so good, so fast. Everyone will be following him very closely this year. Whoever is responsible for scouting/signing him should get a fat raise.
January 19, 200323 yr The real question is: How is he defensively. We haven't really had a good defensive SS since Ozzie left town.
January 19, 200323 yr Good ol' Andy Gonzalez. Good SS, very sound offensively, defensively. Has an absolute cannon for an arm, can throw about 93 off a mound. Top 2 prospect behind Honel? I think that Webster is far better than him, but he should be a Top 5 guy.
January 19, 200323 yr ive heard nothing but good things about this kid....very similiar body to nomar and arod..tall and slender...and scouts have compared him to both...though i think thats kinda rediculous.. never seen him play so lets hope the hype is real
