Gabriel Gonzalez Back Up For Some Reason

[bean5302]

Gonzalez hasn't been impressive this year or over his past 20 games where he's put together a .257/.333/.443 OPS .776 wRC+ 98 line. 9.0% BB, 10.3% K shows his great contact rates, but if he puts the ball in the air, it's often a pop up. 

With only 2 days before 9/1, it appears Gonzalez, who has 2 more option years is more important to see at the MLB level than Emma. Gonzalez, who is honestly limited to DH or a below average RF makes no sense to me. I guess it's because he stands in the right handed batters box.
