In response to "For a legit #1 overall pick and cleanup hitter, Gonzalez gets passed around a lot." by David

To be fair, once given an extended shot in the majors, he delivered.

He struggled with the Rangers in his cup of coffee with them, but he was what, 22? 23?

IIRC, since playing everyday with SD, he's been pretty consistant. If he just played in a reasonable park, instead of Petco, he'd be a *monster*.

- Oh, I'm a big fan. I feel bad for the guy. -- nm - David Aug 3, 13:48 6
  - I don't. He gets paid millions of dollars to play baseball in San Diego. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 13:52 5
    - I'm sure David meant "bad" in a relative sense. Like he's not an orphan in Darfur, but maybe his situations isn't all ice cream and giggles. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 13:57 4
      - Even in that division, it ain't too bad...well now, it is cuz Peavy's got a case of the Favre. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 14:00 3
        
        The Pads roster is much like the Mets right now. One star, and a whole bunch of guys who should probably be in the minors. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 14:04 2

        Wow. I just looked at the Pads roster. It's *really* bad. Really, really, really bad. - musubi Aug 3, 14:28
