Gonzalez is having problems seeing hittable pitches with no protection in the line-up. Instead of drafting the slugger, you may be wise to wait until the trade deadline and deal for him as he'll likely be moved to a contender. Considering the depth at first base, he's over-valued right now. There are similar options for a better value later on (vets Derrek Lee and Lance Berkman or youngster Billy Butler). .280-95-40-105-0 in 570 AB

Positives / Upside	Gonzalez is a classic power-hitting first baseman. He'll offer elite home run totals, all the while giving you above average RBI and runs. He has a good average for a power guy (.277 in 2009), so he won't hurt you there. If he can get moved to a contender at some point this season, he should find himself among the second-half RBI leaders. He's an excellent candidate to trade for around mid-June. .285-100-45-110-0 in 580 AB
Negatives / Downside	Don't expect any SB. .275-90-35-100-0 in 550 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	25
