One of the faces likely to be part of the PawSox rotation in 2009 will be that of righthander Enrique Gonzalez.
Signed to a minor league contract this past December, the 26 year-old Gonzalez is another one of those pitchers picked-up by Boston who has Big League experience. He ppeared in 27 Major League games with the Diamondbacks and Padres (18 as a starter), with a combined 4-7 record with a 5.96 ERA.
Gonzalez spent parts of the last three seasons in Triple A, with Portland and Tuscon of the Pacific Coast League. In that span he posted a record of 15-15 with a 4.80 ERA.
Scouts say Gonzalez possesses a fastball in the mid-90’s with decent command. He also has an above average slider, change-up and curve.
Expect Gonzalez to be part of the PawSox rotation along with the likes of Charlie Zink, Davern Hansack, and Michael Bowden.
