Gonzalez throws a mid-90s fastball, along with a curveball, splitter and changeup. In a scouting report for Baseball America, Ben Badler notes that Gonzalez's curveball is his weakest pitch and that his splitter and changeup are just "a tick above average." Scouts who like Gonzalez rate him as about a No. 3 starter in the big leagues, Badler says, while others think he might be a back-of-the-rotation starter or low-leverage reliever.

If this is what scouts think about him then why the hell did he get such a big contract?

They need to add a button on the display post page (these pages) which does this:

http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/...nversation-luchadores-vs-madres-new-post.html

It is the same code used on the Index page to go to new posts in a thread. I've some forums put it on the display post page so you can just click it and see new posts without doing other contortions.. Refreshing doesn't normally work.

You can copy and paste it to the URL window to do the same thing but not as elegant.

Because someone said he was the Puig of pitchers and the baseball world flipped out.

"He's not flashy, he's not real sexy" Woah, I think Glory would beg to differ Steve...

Why would somebody give a big contract to a 35 year old who hasnt pitched in the majors?
