Adrian Gonzalez

[askretzinger]

Adrian Gonzalez had offseason surgery before 2011 and his power numbers have declined since (although his BA has stayed steady). That leaves me a level of concern moving forward (maybe something Boston saw too), coupled with a not-so-friendly ballpark in LA. What are the chances of Gonzalez bouncing back in 2013 and getting back on a pace of hitting 30 HR again?

That's a tough one, given there's some many angles to take on A-Gon. I think expected an avg near .300 and a 200 combined Rs/RBIs (the Dodgers lineup should give a realistic chance of reaching those) and reaonably expect 20 HRs with ceiling of 25 HRs (we just don't know what's caused the power outage).

30 HRs may come, but I would absolutely not base a pick on it. Still, I like A-Gon as a reasonable late-third/fourth rounders that could end up a little more.

He may struggle to hit 30 again, but he hasn't played less than 159 games since 2006 (when he played 156 in his first full season) and there is a lot of value in a guy that will likely stay in the line up the entire year and provide over 600 at bats worth of .300 average with 200+ runs+RBIs.

I have him ranked 15th overall and from what I'm seeing will probably own him in every league.

I have him at .290-93-24-108-1

I think your BA and power totals are on the optimistic side (although not far off from mine) but I do like his lineup spot and durability.

I agree. I would say low 20's for HR, but the other numbers look about right.
