19-year old CF in rookie league. 6'5", fast, raw power. Considered to have high bust potential, but also star potential.

Didn't realize how many Pedro Gonzalez's there are/ were in baseball until now.

Impressive numbers at the plate.

He is better than what I thought we'd get. Lucroy was a trade I was thrilled about that we did not get our money worth it of.

Scouting Report
Quote:
Signed for $1.3 million on the international free-agent market in 2014, Gonzalez has already converted from shortstop to center field, where his precocious instincts have impressed scouts. A below-average runner from home to first, Gonzalez is a plus runner underway and his gargantuan strides cover plenty of ground in center field right now.

Quote:
He has incredible physical projection. The on-paper measureables alone indicate this, but the breadth of Gonzalez's shoulders and the size of his hands are particularly stunning. I'm setting the over/under on Gonzalez's prime weight at 230. For reference, Jayson Werth is 6-foot-5, 235. There's a chance Gonzalez can retain the speed for center field at that weight and his surprising instincts for center field give him some margin for error down the line in that regard.

Quote:
With that weight should come big raw power. Gonzalez isn't making loud contact right now but he has loose wrists, some natural opposite-field ability and picturesque loft and extension through his swing. There's a chance for plus raw power at peak.

Quote:
Of course, with levers this long, there are holes in the swing. Gonzalez has shown some ability to adjust his hands but is a long way from being able to punish velocity on the inner half. His breaking-ball recognition was spotty during instructs. Because the future of his hit tool is quite volatile, so is Gonzalez's overall profile. He's a potential star but light years from the majors.
Taken from the comments section of LSB.

AP just curious, but when do current suite owners get notifications about suite info for the new stadium? Any idea if the pricing is going to be around the same?

Seat prices and suite prices will be released at the same time. Current suite owners should already be having initial conversations about suites for the new stadium. If they're not, then their rep isn't doing their job very well

How common is it for a friends/family group to rent a suite (rather than a corporate gigs/handouts)? What is it, like $5k per game?

Espn broadcast is so bad. They missed both of Beltre's home runs.

Was trying to get some outside perspective on the team. Not happening. Switching back and forth between both.

Pretty common actually. Start at $3750 for 20 people

Feels like a lot of lackdasical play at the plate again tonight -- not working counts and stringing hits together.

2nd and 3rd no outs and don't score a run. This team seeems to be returning to midseason form.

Why did Banister decide to concede the 4th run? Just trying to keep it competitive?

Just not a fundamentally sound team.

Chirinos beats the throw but doesn't slide properly.

Chirinos doesn't know how to slide...spreadsheet updated.

Interesting that there's a CF camera for every pitch of the game, but it mysteriously disappears on the most important play. Guess all the cameras were busy filming Sharknado.

It's good to see them manufacture runs not via the home run. Wish we didn't have to use Claudio yet again, but I'm glad it was only for the one inning. Hope we can take the series tomorrow and FINALLY get over .500. Law of averages would suggest we can't keep getting back to .500 and losing this many times in a row.

Why in the world would they have cameras on anything BUT the batter, especially Beltre????
