BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep (14+ Team) Leagues or AL Only
OWNED IN: In 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Gonzalez has been sneaky effective for Baltimore, posting a 2.07 ERA since the All-Star break of last season. He was tremendous in his second to last start, setting a career high in strikeouts (10) while limiting the Yankees to one run over seven innings. His most recent start was a bit messier though, as he managed only 5 IP @BOS while allowing nine baserunners and 3 ER. His career 6.48 K/9 ratio indicates his start vs. the Yankees isn't to be expected, but if he can limit runs he’s a good option for deep fantasy leagues. He’s got some tough starts coming up (BOS, CWS) so I can’t endorse grabbing him in shallow leagues, but keep your eye on him. The road will be clearer after that and Gonzalez has the potential to be a shallow mixed-league option.
