"Gonzalez is my new favorite player to watch. I realize Albert Pujols could come just a few batting average percentage points away from winning the NL Triple Crown and that Joey Votto will get a paddleboat-load of MVP votes … but I'll take Carlos Gonzalez over both of them. I know, pass on Pujols? I'm nuts." One can only wonder what could have been if we hadnt traded him....maybe we finally could have had that big bat were missing now. hopefully we'll find another gem like him soon
