Tom Brennan - ADRIAN GONZALEZ SO FAR IS BETTER THAN...


Tom Brennan - ADRIAN GONZALEZ SO FAR IS BETTER THAN...
We were recently speculating how long the aging Adrian Gonzalez would last this season.

How about asking instead who he's done better than so far? 

After all, in just 21 starts (26 games) and just 82 at bats, he is hitting over .250 with 5 homers and 19 RBIs.
OK, so let's answer that question:

He's done better than:

 Michael Conforto

 Jay Bruce

 Travis d'Arnaud

 Kevin Plawecki

 Amed Rosario

 Jose Reyes

 Matt Harvey

 Zach Wheeler

 Steve Matz

 Jason Vargas

 Hansel Robles

 Paul Sewald

 Jose Lobaton

 Tomas Nido

Dominic Smith

 AJ Ramos

 Jerry Blevins

 Lucas Duda

 Neil Walker
He's done as well or better than:

 Todd Frazier

 Brandon Nimmo

 Seth Lugo

 Jeurys Familia
Looking at it that way, I know my answer now:

Adrian Gonzalez can stay for a LONG TIME.

    Rob, nice. It shows that patience is sometimes a virtue, as in Gonzalez's case.

    I will admit that I was wrong about AG (so far).....the Mets have much bigger problems then first base.

    Sorry, not happening. He’s a stiff despite his three good games so far. Blind squirrels find acorns too.
