When a former NL opponent asked him what you had to do to play first, he reportedly said, “Hit like a motherf***er.” Which he did. If Gonzales swings it like he had been, he’ll be fine playing first.I love this story and had never heard it before so thanks for sharing it.
Thursday at 05:09 PM1 day Realistically, where is this guy's position long-term (if he sticks)? I remember him not being that great at really spot in the infield. Is it in the mix at 1B since, beyond next year, there isn't really anyone else, barring a Mune extension?

They better pick the right ones to trade, but no reason Gonzalez cant be the 5th infielder who can cover all 4 positions and DH on the non-defense days.
Thursday at 05:41 PM1 day Remember when half this board was seriously clamoring for Vaughn to be the everyday 2Bman?
