Carlos Gonzalez: Great Player or Product of Coors?

[vols kick balls]

Here are his splits.

Home: .394/.440/.801 for an amazing 1.241 OPS.
Road:.288/.310/.450 for a much more pedestrian .760 OPS.

He is having a great year but that is possibly the most drastic difference in splits I have ever seen.

I've got a buddy who has a couple of kids that were a product of Coors.

I laughed. heartily.

I think right now, it's helping him in such a HUGE way.

But if he gets his plate discipline to where it should be with having the innate ability (vladdy-like) to be a free-swinger and succeed, a balance of that, would make him effective anywhere. The splits are ugly though.

The power numbers are definitely better at home, with a much more spacious park. Obviously, not even one season is a small sample size, so it will be interesting to see how he trends next year.
