Okay, some notes about Gonzalez: First season in the States, third in the organization. His walk rate was down, but so was his strikeout rate. That said, his K:BB ratio was up from 2008, from 2.36 to 2.63. His ERA jumped from 2.95 in his second go-around in the Dominican Summer League to 7.38 in 2009, so that's disconcerting. But he turned 21 in August, and his numbers are quite inflated this year than in his previous two. He may spend 2010 in Greeneville again, but I would be surprised if his ERA is over 7.00 again.
