The Book on Carlos Gonzalez
Prospect Info
Carlos Gonzalez
Born 10/17/1985
OF, OAK
The number one prospect in the DBacks system before being shipped to Oakland in the Dan Haren deal, Gonzalez also has the best arm in the organization. He has developing power and a fastball-burning inside out swing. A good all-around baseball player who excels across the board, his quality defense and smart baserunning complement his strong offensive game. While he'll have to do it in a tougher ballpark and surrounded by less of a lineup, he should still manage to become a key part of the Oakland outfield in short order.
To shore things up, however, Gonzalez could use more walks and fewer strikeouts, two areas in which he has shown slow but steady improvement during strong winter league performances.
