Would it make sense to omit him intentionally? @John

Yes, I missed Gonzalez on the first pass because I focused on offseason signings only. Would it make sense to omit him intentionally?

Well I just can't take that list seriously. 9-4 with a 3.25 ERA  and a HUGE game against the Yanks in the post season. a list without Miguel Gonzalez of the Orioles?
