Tom Singer, of MLB.com, reports Atlanta Braves CL Mike Gonzalez will likely be included on the United States' roster for the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
After returning from nearly a one-year hiatus, Gonzalez became one of the game's most underrated closers and should be fully recovered from Tommy John elbow ligament surgery in 2009.
After returning from close to a one-year hiatus, Gonzalez has proven to be one of the game's most underrated closers and he should be fully recovered from Tommy John elbow ligament surgery in 2009.
News: Braves closer Mike Gonzalez pitched a perfect ninth inning in a non-save situation Saturday at Houston. He recorded two strikeouts.
Analysis: Gonzalez hasn't dominated since taking over as Braves closer, posting a 4.28 ERA, but he was also just coming back from Tommy John surgery. If he keeps the role heading into next season, think of him as a No. 2 Fantasy option on Draft Day
Dan Gelston, of The Associated Press, reports Atlanta Braves CL Mike Gonzalez recorded his 14th save of the season Tuesday, Sept. 23.
