I’ll miss his glove, but I won’t miss him striking out with bases loaded or grounded into double plays.
While this is is a fair point, this can not be a reason why the Braves didn’t make the playoffs. We knew Gonzalez’ shortcomings offensively and this didn’t surprise anyone. What hurt us was ‘cannie, Prado, J-Hey and Uggla not being consistent at the plate.
