Well if no one else is going to comment on this earth-shattering move, I certainly won't.

I said all that I had to say in my recap of last night's game.

As I recall, I couldn't remember who Edgar Gonzales was during spring training.

He has limited ability. His saving grace is that he throws strikes.

He's Mexican...

And before I get called a racist, just an old EG quote...

...He left after five innings with a blister in his right big toe after nobody could fix it in time between innings. He lobbied to stay in with a little motherland toughness, saying he told DeFrancesco, “I’m Mexican. I can try.”

Or, if you don't like old quotes, here's one from after the game today (via Twitter):

Brian T. Smith ‏@ChronAstros
Via @dfbarron: #Astros' Edgar Gonzalez thought he was going to OKC. Volunteered to pitch. "Whatever they want me to do. I’m Mexican." #MLB

There's a place for Gonzalez as long as it isn't a meaningful time in the game. Gonzalez throws strikes and can eat innings, but you probably won't like how they taste.

The endorsement from the sabre crowd that Houston will definitely get better carries a lot of weight. Time, however, is the teller of all truths in any situation.
