EDGE Analysis

Previous reports said Gonzalez would visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache that day before suiting up, but Roberts' optimism perhaps shows the club expects the examination to go well, or maybe reveals it's been cancelled. Either way, A-Gon taking live reps will help solidify his value in the middle rounds of mixed fantasy baseball drafts, though seeing him show power in the World Baseball Classic -- or spring training, if the 34-year-old winds up dropping out -- would make prospective owners more comfortable.
