GIO GONZALEZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
Can Gio Gonzalez Be Successful Outside Of The Coliseum?
On a four hour train ride from New York City back home to D.C. I had following a business trip this week, I listened to a lot of sports talk radio. At one point, on a show which I unfortunately do not know the name of, one of the hosts was previewing the N.L. East and pointed out that Gio Gonzalez has a career 4.32 ERA outside of the Oakland Coliseum, and wondered out loud why no...

Nats Farm System Ranked No. 1 By Baseball America ... Before Gio Gonzalez Trade
One of my favorite books of the year, Baseball America's Prospect Handbook, came out earlier this week.

Player Profile #132: Gio Gonzalez | SP | WAS
For two years Gio Gonzalez has outperformed his FIP, which suggests that luck has played a factor in his success.
