In the aftermath of the Jay Bruce call up, the Oakland A's have decided to call up outfield prospect Carlos Gonzalez. Gonzalez was one of the prospects acquired by Oakland in the Dan Haren deal this winter. In his first game on Friday night, the A's center fielder went 2 for 3 with an RBI. What can you expect from the consolation prize to the people who didn't get Bruce?
Gonzalez went from high A ball to AAA in the last two years, displaying 20 home run power and the ability to steal 15 bases. Expecting a .280/15/15 season sounds reasonable for Gonzalez
