Carlos Gonzalez, once a feared slugger for the Colorado Rockies, was signed to a minor-league contract by the Cubs last week, and reported to Triple-A Iowa.
Sunday, he went 2-for-4 and hit a 445-foot home run for the I-Cubs.
Today, he's joining the Cubs active roster:
Jim Adduci has been a good organizational guy for the Cubs for a long time, as well as a couple other teams. He was designated for assignment and will almost certainly clear waivers and be back at Iowa.
Gonzalez was at one time one of the most feared hitters in the National League.
