It became obvious this past season that Theo has a pretty big hard on for Padres first-basemen Adrian Gonzalez. His name was thrown around at the deadline, and at that point I was lukewarm to the idea of him becoming a Sock. We already have an all-star first-basemen in Kevin Youkilis, but after doing some further research of my own (aka listening to WEEI this morning) I really want him on the team. Not only did he hit 40 home runs this past year, while playing in the pitcher friendly coliseum that is Petco Park, but a mere ten of them were pulled. This means 30 of his homers were hit either to center or the opposite field. An outrageously impressive statistic. Adrian is indeed a lefty, and we all know what left handed hitters with opposite field power can do in Fenway. It's tough to say but Lowell and Ortiz are washed up. It's time to move Youk to third and bring in Gonzo to play first. Ellsbury to Pedroia to Youk to Adrian sounds mighty fine.
Getting Adrian Gonzalez- Sooo Sick
