Just depressing, but entriely based in fact. He's young, but even young QB's show promise by this time if they're going to make it. See how the young QBs drafted just this year are already showing a ton of promise?

CarGo Called up by Rockies

Carlos Gonzo, the man we traded for Matt Holliday, is getting called up to the majors after a white hot AAA start where he hit .339 with six steals, ten taters, a .638 slugging percentage, and fifty nine RBI. As much as I like the kid I have to admit part of me wants him to be terrible (not too likely) since watching another traded away player become a super duper star would kill me. But yeah, best of luck!

Why couldn't he have done this a few years ago? I guess the fact that he was apparently blind before explains his hitting with us for a few years before we traded him. Not that this really matters too much to the Athletics, just thought it was kind of interesting that hes become such a beast now, not that he would be under contract with us or anything. I like Suzuki more any way.
