Organization Prospect Rankings

With a choice of which of two Double-A catchers to protect, the Astros chose to add Gonzalez to the 40-man roster, leaving Roberto Pena, another fine defender, exposed in the Rule 5 draft. Gonzalez has an even stronger arm than Pena. He can rattle off top-of-the-scale pop times when he keeps his mechanics in check, but they remain inconsistent, costing him throwing accuracy. He still threw out 47 percent of baserunners. Gonzalez has present strength but took off in 2015 when he focused on simply making solid contact. Beginning in low Class A, Gonzalez hit .300 at three different levels. He still never has played 75 games in a season and hadn't played 50 games before 2015, so he must show more durability behind the plate. He has the tools to be a solid backup thanks to his strong arm and excellent ability to present pitches. Spring training could determine whether he returns to Corpus Christi or moves up to Triple-A Fresno.
