Newsbreakers
October 12, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez came up big in Game 3, but the Rockies still fell short of the Phillies in a 6-5 loss. The left fielder was 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three runs scored, a stolen base, and an RBI.
Our View:
Gonzalez has been a force in the NLDS. He is now 8-for-13 with five runs scored and two stolen bases. He has been the best hitter in the Rockies lineup during these playoffs.
September 30, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with two runs, two RBI and a home run out of the leadoff spot on Wednesday night, helping the Rockies to a 10-6 win over the Brewers at home. Colorado's magic number for clinching the National League wild card is now two.
Our View:
Gonzalez continues to be a revelation for the Rockies, who will depend heavily on his top-of-the-order spark in the playoffs.
September 25, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez is penciled into tonight's lineup against St. Louis, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
Gonzalez has been deemed fit to play following his bout with a tight hamstring. He will roam in left field, but skipper Jim Tracy noted that he would not hesitate to replace him with Seth Smith as a "Plan B."
September 23, 2009
After leaving Tuesday's game with tightness in his hamstring, Carlos Gonzalez is not in the Rockies' starting lineup on Wednesday, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
The injury is not considered serious, and the move is strictly precautionary. Seth Smith will man left field and leadoff in his absence.
September 22, 2009
MLB.com reports that Rockies leadoff hitter Carlos Gonzalez left Tuesday's game against the Padres with tightness in his left hamstring.
Our View:
Gonzalez smoked a triple in the first inning and injured the hammy while legging it out. He later scored on a balk and played the field in the second inning before being replaced by Seth Smith. No word on the seriousness of the injury, but it would be a huge blow to the Rockies if he ends up missing significant time. The team is 15-5 when he starts in the leadoff spot. Consider him day-to-day for now.
September 19, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in a 10-4 win over the D-Backs on Saturday.
Our View:
He now has 12 homers and 26 RBI in 245 at-bats this season to go along with 16 steals and a .282 average. The talented youngster appears to be coming into his own and will be a great fantasy option next year when he can get a full season under his belt.
August 28, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez is out of the Rockies lineup on Friday with a swollen thumb, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
CarGo is dealing with his second minor hand injury in as many weeks. Expect him to play at some point this weekend as the Rockies try to maintain their four-game lead over San Francisco in the wild card race.
August 27, 2009
On the same day he returned from a minor hand injury, Carlos Gonzalez suffered another minor hand injury, leaving the game after bruising his thumb on a fourth-inning dive in the outfield, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
It doesn't sound like he should be out long. Check back for updates, but tentatively plan on having him available for tomorrow.
August 27, 2009
According to the Denver Post, Carlos Gonzalez took batting practice on Thursday and felt no ill effects in regards to his hand injury. He started in centerfield for Thursday's game.
Our View:
Gonzalez cut his hand with a steak knife, and the laceration has limited his playing time recently, but he is now ready to go. He was hitting exceptionally well before the injury, so make sure you get him back in your lineup this weekend. He had hit six homers in eight games before the "steak-related injury".
August 24, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez is making progress after cutting his hand with a steak knife, according to the Denver Post. He played catch Monday, and expects to hit off a tee tomorrow.
Our View:
Gonzalez is not 100 percent, but feels like he could play defense in an emergency. He will have his stitch removed either Tuesday or Wednesday, and believes he will be ready to return to the Rockies' lineup at some point this week.
August 23, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez is expected to miss about a week of action after cutting his hand on a steak knife at his home, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
As Brett Myers again proved a few weeks ago, fools are usually made of people who take baseball players at their word about how they sustained their off-the-field injuries. Hopefully this will be the exception - but almost surely it will be the rule. Gonzalez will be hard to replace, as he has been the Rockies top hitter (.373) since the All-Star break. Seth Smith will start in his place for now.
August 19, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez homered in his fourth straight game on Wednesday night as the Rockies beat the Nationals 5-4. Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Our View:
Nobody is hotter in the game of baseball right now than Gonzalez, and he looks like he is more than comfortable in the leadoff role for the Rockies. If he is a free agent for any reason in your league, pick him up and ride him while he is hot.
August 18, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez popped his seventh homer of the season in the Rockies' 4-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday night. He was 1-for-5 on the day.
Our View:
Gonzalez went deep in his first game as the Rockies' leadoff hitter, and has now homered in three straight games and in five of his last seven. Play him while he's hot.
August 18, 2009
According to the Denver Post, the Rockies are going with Carlos Gonzalez in the leadoff spot for Tuesday's game.
Our View:
Gonzalez has been hot lately and getting on base frequently. Dexter Fowler will hit second.
August 16, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a home run in the Rockies' 7-3 win on Sunday. The win salvaged a split in their day-night doubleheader with the Marlins.
Our View:
Gonzalez is starting to come into his own. The rookie homered in the first game of the doubleheader as well, and is hitting .419 this month with four homers and ten RBI.
June 28, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez had a nice day on Sunday in the Rockies' 3-1 win over the A's. Gonzalez reached base four times, as he was 2-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in the contest.
Our View:
Gonzalez is hitting only .228 this season, but he is still very young and he has the ability to be an excellent fantasy player in the future. He has very little value right now, but keep an eye on him as the season wears on, as he could have a strong second half.
June 9, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Milwaukee. Both of his knocks were doubles.
Our View:
He has a hit in three straight games, and notched his first RBI of 2009. The top prospect is worth targeting as a flier for deeper fantasy leagues.
June 5, 2009
The Denver Post is reporting that the Rockies have recalled outfielder Carlos Gonzalez from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Gonzalez is expected to join the Rockies in St. Louis on Friday.
Our View:
Gonzalez has been destroying minor league pitching so far this season, so this call-up comes as no surprise. While he is not the most heralded prospect to be called up in the last few weeks, he should have the opportunity to contribute right away in the Rockies' outfield. NL-only leaguers may want to give him a look, and deeper mixed leaguers should monitor him going forward.
May 31, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday, giving him nine home runs for the season.
Our View:
Gonzalez has been helped by hitter-friendly Colorado Springs, but he is also hitting better than .300 on the road and .341-9-55 with a 1.056 OPS on the year. With some weak outfield play beyond Brad Hawpe in Colorado, Gonzalez seems almost certain to get some playing time with the Rockies later this season.
April 30, 2009
Top prospect Carlos Gonzalez went 5-for-6 with five RBI and three runs scored for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.
Our View:
Gonzalez lost out on a roster spot with the Rockies in spring, but that hasn't hindered his game in the minors. The youngster is now hitting .325-2-27 with three steals.
March 30, 2009
As expected, Carlos Gonzalez has been sent to Triple-A Colorado Springs by the Rockies, according to the Sports Network.
Our View:
Gonzalez is a top prospect, but the club does not feel he is ready to make an impact as an every-day player yet. He should be reserved for deeper NL-only leagues.
March 30, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez is likely headed to Triple-A, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He has a bright future with the club, but there is currently no room for him in their crowded outfield.
March 16, 2009
Carlos Gonzalez was 1-for-3 with his first home run of the spring in Monday's 8-3 win over Arizona.
Our View:
The 23-year-old is just 4-for-26 this spring, and he seems destined to start the season in the minors. He's got a load of tools, but it should tell you something that he is on his third team in less than a year.
