Gonzalez has bounced back nicely (batting .270 with 27 home runs and 67 RBI) after an injury-plagued 2014 campaign that was cut short in August because of knee surgery. His issues this year have been of the more minor variety, such as tired legs and a hand sprain.
The 29-year-old outfielder has enjoyed a very productive second half of the season as he deals with the possibility of being traded this offseason, as noted by the Denver Post's Patrick Saunders.
