The Brewers will sign shortstop Alex Gonzalez, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX
Sports. It's a one-year deal with a vesting option for 2013, Rosenthal adds.
Gonzalez will presumably take over as Milwaukee's starting shortstop, a
position occupied by Yuniesky Betancourt this year. Gonzalez is represented
by Eric Goldschmidt.
Gonzalez, 34, hit .241/.270/.372 with 15 home runs in 593 plate appearances
for the Braves in 2011. UZR suggests Gonzalez was average defensively this
year and above-average from 2006-10. Gonzalez seems to represent an upgrade
over Betancourt, but not by much. In November, the Braves elected not to
offer arbitration to Gonzalez, so they won't be receiving a supplemental
draft pick for the loss.
