At his peak in 2010, Carlos Gonzalez was a bonafide five-tool player. The outfielder with a cannon for an arm set career marks with a .336 average, 117 RBIs and 26 stolen bases, in addition to blasting 34 home runs.
And while over time even Gonzalez himself admits some of those tools have diminished — “I’m not as speedy as I was back in my younger days,” he noted with his wide trademark smile — there’s still plenty of hits left in the lefty’s bat, as evidenced by a torrid July that helped transform the Rockies into the hottest team in baseball.
