yeah.....

he was a top prospect many moons ago with Philly (i think)….then with Chicago (i think)….and now with Oakland.

He was horrific when he first was called up………..then was good for a few starts………..now back to being horrible again.

by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 31, 2009 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

from Wiki (so it must be true)

He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 1st round. In 2005, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Aaron Rowand and Daniel Haigwood for slugger Jim Thome.

Gio was rated the # 2 prospect in the Phillies’ system behind Cole Hamels by Baseball America in 2006. In December 2006, Gio was traded back to the White Sox with Gavin Floyd for Freddy Garcia. Gonzalez led the minor leagues with 185 strikeouts in 150 innings in 2007.

On January 3, 2008, Gonzalez was traded along with fellow prospects Ryan Sweeney and Fautino de los Santos for outfielder Nick Swisher. He was ranked the #1 prospect in the White Sox system at the time of the trade.

i can't speak for him,

by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 31, 2009 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

its nothing elaborate...

its just 10 little things, and I dont think its exactly the same but very similar…
Usually backs out of the box, or steps way across the plate and walks bat, taps helmet, hits shoes with bat, does the little extension with the arms to adjust sleeves does this weird neck high practice swing.

Im sure Im way over analyzing, and I do love DDJ, so Im not sure why it bothers me so much, Im just fickle like that sometimes.

Maybe he's my own personal Bobby Sippio

I understand his limitations but I can’t help but like the guy. If Jacobs was hitting .275 we’d be ready to build a statue for the guy. We could do with a few more guys that just quietly get on base and do a few more things right. He would definitely be a bench player on a contender but he’s arguably the best outfielder we have (which is an indictment of the Royals in general). Stick him in left and leave him alone until his contract is up.
