Intl Signing

Although the reports was a big splash as HBD thinks he is a Blue Chipper, this reporter doesn't exactly see it. At any rate, the Helena Hot Pockets are proud to announce the signing of Geraldo Gonzalez for $4.5M and a MLB contract. My scouts tell me he can't cover CF all that well but can catch it if he gets there. If he wasn't left handed he would be great in the infield but that relegates him to the outfield as he is much too strong for 1B. Hitting is somewhat mediocre having a decent eye and very good contact, but the splits and power are nothing special. His push/pull indicates he will hit some long singles, doubles and an occasional dinger to the corners or a lucky gapper. Grade B to a C+
