Re: If Adrian Gonzalez played in a bigger market...

I think Adrian Gonzalez is a better defender at 1B than Pujols.
Out of Petco he would absolutely mash the ball as well.
I dont really think he would suit Boston though because hes a lefty they arent that good hitting in Fenway(With the exception of Ortiz)which brings me to my next point its preferable to have a 4 hitter who is right handed when Ortiz is hitting 3(Like Manny was)I think it provides a better lineup.
If the Sox go after any slugging 1B I think itll involve a trade for Miguel Carbera(Should the Tigers struggle)maybe trade Lars Andersen & Clay Bucholz & Justin Masterson for Miguel Carbrera?

I'd like to see Adrian change teams...off of my head the teams I'd like him to go to are;
Mets;F-Mart, Niese & Evans and maybe another pitching prospect.
Angels;Wood, Morales, 2 SP prospects and Reggie Willits.
Orioles;Trade some of their pitching prospects, one of their young OF(I'm guessing Pie) and Aubrey Huff(With his contract paid for)
I'd also like to see him go to Toronto...but cant really figure out a trade.

But yeah he'd go to being a superstar overnight if he left San Diego...or San Diego decided to build a team to win...but I think its more likely he leaves along with Peavy.

The Tigers would not even think of trading Miggy. They gave him an very long extension right after trading for him. They clearly want him to be the cornerstone of the franchise for a long time. Also with what I have seen from the Tigers pitching so far they will most likely be in contention for the division. Their pitching is better than people were giving it credit for.

When it comes to Home/Away Splits, Adrian Gonzalez is the anti-Matt Holliday.

Shame what Petco does to his talent.
