Gonzalez: More HR This Year?

Reds manager Jerry Narron is excited to see what new shortstop Alex Gonzalez will bring to the table this year.

The impact of Gonzalez’s move to Cincinnati will be felt in a couple of ways. First, the cozy confines of Great American Ball Park may enable him to reclaim the power-hitting form he showed with the Marlins a few years ago. Then there’s the matter of his Gold Glove-caliber work on the defensive end. That won’t do anything for the shortstop’s fantasy value, but it will certainly help the members of the Reds pitching staff. Owners will want to keep that in mind when considering whether to invest high draft picks in Cincy aces Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo.
