2013
There was no outlook written for Juan Gonzalez.
2006
Gonzalez's Hall-of-Fame resume will read a .295 batting average, 434 home runs and at least three professional organizations who felt milked by a former star who was more interested in money than playing. Hoping for a repeat of 2001 rather than 2004, Cleveland got the 2004 model, which gained the Indians one official at bat. He's a long shot and an incentive-laden contract away from another chance.
2005
Even when he was healthy last year, Gonzalez wasn’t the same hitter who socked 40 home runs for three straight seasons in 1996-1998. Back problems limited him to just 33 games last season and he now hasn't played more than 100 games in three seasons due to a variety of injuries. Gonzalez will have to fight to win a starting job this spring and his career may be over.
2004
Gonzalez was putting together a nice season until a strained calf ended his season, and his tenure in Texas, in mid-July. He's signed with Kansas City and we think there's still a solid year or two left in him.
2003
Any hitter will tell you that nagging hand injuries can destroy a season, which is exactly what happened to Gonzalez. He was never healthy, and news so far on the hand this off-season has been encouraging. He's a pretty reliable 140-game a year player. Playing in hitter-friendly stadium could see him post his first 40-HR season since 1998, with a return to at least the 30-HR plateau all but a given. Think major rebound here.
