2023 Fantasy Outlook
How long can Gonzales remain a part of a big-league rotation while allowing this much contact? That's a question which could be answered as soon as this season. While the veteran lefty has never been a pitcher who relies on whiffs, his 13.2 K% in 2022 was startlingly low. No other qualified starter finished within three points of that mark; Dallas Keuchel matched that figure in 2021 and pitched himself out of the league one year later. That represents the downside for Gonzales, who lacks the strong groundball rates Keuchel could fall back on, and the upside for a pitcher whose fastball averaged 88.7 mph isn't particularly high, either. That said, it's not all doom and gloom for the southpaw. Pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park helps limit the damage in his home starts, and his 6.4 BB% helped keep his ERA to a passable 4.13. That's enough to keep Gonzales a viable endgame play in deeper leagues as long as he has a rotation spot, but a further drop in strikeouts could cost him that role. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Gonzales will be ineligible to pitch in the series unless he gets added to the active roster. The 30-year-old wrapped up the 2022 campaign with a 4.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP and will provide the Mariners with an additional depth option.

Gonzales is the type of pitcher who gets better results than his stuff would indicate but could fall off a cliff quickly. This past season saw him win double-digit games for the third time in his career with a fourth consecutive season with an ERA of 4.00 or lower. The big difference with this last season was the underlying skills were much different and should provide pause for 2022. He is still a pitcher who survives by working the periphery of the zone and messing with timing, but the 1.8 HR/9 last season is unsightly, and the abnormally-high 82.2 LOB% and abnormally-low .239 BABIP are what led to him posting an ERA 1.1 runs below his 5.06 FIP. His HR/FB rate was higher than in any other full season, but it's a reminder of what can go wrong when someone who has below-average stuff across the board isn't sharp as an extreme flyball pitcher. This selection will not feel good, so it's probably best to let someone else make this roster move.
