Adrian Gonzalez and age 35 seasons
Eric Stephen did an excellent review of what Adrian Gonzalez did in 2016, but I’m curious about what to expect from him in 2017. As Eric noted Adrian had a slow start but turned things around to end up with a somewhat productive season even though it was his least productive season of his career. …

Adrian Gonzalez on a RBI mission
Gonzalez has driven in 11 runs over the last two games. Going into tonight’s game he’ll be trying to become the 7th LAD player to drive in at least three runs in three straight games. Strangely enough Andrew Toles will be trying to accomplish the same thing even though Toles has only driven in three …
