Gonzalez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez is probably one of the Indians' top prospects from a real life standpoint, based on his defense at shortstop, but he doesn't bring much to the table offensively, other than a solid hit tool. He has six homers and nine steals in 81 games at Triple-A this year, but as someone who is about to turn 25 and has logged 146 games at Triple-A in his career, those numbers aren't that impressive. Michael Martinez was claimed off waivers as a corresponding move.
