He is very, very good, but he strikes out WAY to much. If he can cut those down, then you have something.....

its a shame that he gets no coverage from the national media. he is a legit contender for the triple crown.

right now he leads NL in batting average and RBI. trails Pujols by just TWO home runs.

and the casual fan doesn't even know who he is.

Not sure why you would've traded for him when he was available in the 10 to 15 round range of most drafts. I guess if you missed the draft and the auto picker gave him to someone else.

Anyway, I think I made one comment in the in-game thread for this year's All-Star game. I wrote that the National league didn't even have its best player on the roster. I didn't mention a name, but it should now be pretty obvious who I was referring to.

carlos is a 5 tool player, so i definitely think he can surpass adrian...and im a big adrian supporter and have been, hes the best 1b in the game, in my opinion, better than pujols.....not many would agree with me there im sure......

i just dont know if cargo will ever be more valuable to his team than mauer.....while mauer is not aq 5 tool guy, he may as well be since his value as a catcher is basically the same or more value as cargos speed and arm .....but i agree with u in a sense that he will be 2nd best.......

however, is ee votto surpassing adrian , and its quite possible votto could be a better overall talent than cargo if they both continue on their current paths...cargo is great, but seriously how often does a triple crown guy come around, 40-50 years?

Something to note regarding RBI. Gonzalez spent about 40 to 50 games this year as the Rockies leadoff hitter. He only moved into the middle of the order out of necessity. First when Helton and Hawpe were injured, then later when Tulo missed 6 weeks.
