This is a story about expectations. This is a story about belief. This is a story about talent and hard work and being a bulldog and a Bulldog, and trying to handle reality when you finally get what you want. This is the story of Marco Gonzales, the longest-tenured big league Seattle Mariners pitcher on the roster, top prospect turned burnout, reclaimed in a new organization that made him a centerpiece. This is the story of a new captain taking the helm of a ship sailing for the heart of a maelstrom, surviving his crew in the battered husk of his boat only to struggle to handle his new role when finally given the responsibility to command a well-built vessel.
