Are The Red Sox Hiding Adrian Gonzalez ? | FanFeedr HotTakes

Adrian Gonzalez’s first half ended with a head cold. I thought that was pretty funny seeing how sick the sluggers bat has been in 2012. A-Carew finished his abysmal first half with an 18 game hit streak that that included ONE HR, That run was ended by the aforementioned case of the sniffles.

None of the Sox “Varsity Players” needs a strong start to the second half more than Gonzalez.

So when he was scratched from the lineup after the four day All Star break the questions swirled – is Gonzo still sick, is it his shoulder? Saturday rolled around and again Gonzalez was missing from the lineup. The explanation finally came . Back Spasms are now sidelining the Red Sox first baseman. It seems while bending over to kiss or get a look at a baby in a stroller Friday he tweaked something.
