| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Does Anthony Gose's hit tool have enough #want to afford him the opportunity to showcase those tools as a major league regular?
(C.J. from Milwaukee) | It needs to improve, but it only needs to find average utility for the speed/power to elevate his offensive profile. If the hit tool finds a way to play at the major league level, Gose could be an all-star. (Jason Parks) |

| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Anthony Gose and Gary Brown have similar tools, but clearly have different approaches at the plate. Which do you see being more successful in the short & long term? BTW, you described Billy Hamilton as "sexy" in the podcast; I really think it should have been "sex on fire."
(Teddy from Cuba) | Brown now and in the future. Not sure Gose can figure it out. You are right: it should have been sex on fire. I agree 100% (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-10-17 13:00:00 | Brr. I'm cold. Anthony Gose isn't. Where is his floor/ceiling/realistic projection?
(Dawson from Igloo, Canada) | That's the thing about Gose. His ceiling is huge. He has some power, crazy speed, incredible arm strength, just so much. But right now, the bat is a huge problem because of all the swing and miss. He could be a star, and could get stuck as a fourth outfielder. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-10-17 13:00:00 | Re: Anthony Gose - is there any history to go by for the likelihood that prospects like him - who, while he was still young for his level this year, isn't THAT young - figuring out the hit tool?
(Bret from Toronto) | No. Some guys click, some guys don't, and if you can figure out the difference, I know people who will pay you a lot of money. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-09-06 14:00:00 | How far away from sticking in the majors are Travis d'Arnaud and Anthony Gose? And how do you see them performing?
(thresh50 from boston) | I'm not Kevin Goldstein, damn it. I'm current events and history, not prospects. I do Goose, not Gose (Goslin or Gossage). But if you're asking me, I'd still like to see Goser the Gosarian get a better handle on the ol' making contact thing. At 20, no reason he has to do that tomorrow, but when you start carving points off of a .250 average upon promotion, you don't end up with a whole lot left for the majors. Again, he's precocious, so it might not be terminal... Bobby Fuller, "I Fought the Law" on now. There's probably a movie in the strange death of Bobby Fuller... (Steven Goldman) |
| 2011-09-02 14:00:00 | I hear a lot of talk about how Anthony Gose needs to learn "how to hit." He certainly has a low batting average, but essentially every other number is quite nice. Could he develop to put up a similar line - .250 average, .350 OBP, 15 HR, 60SB - in the majors? If he can, with his defense (from what I've read), that's a hell of a player.
(Paul from Waterloo) | The only assumption I don't like is the .350 OBP. If he hits .250 in the big leagues, I can't see him putting up a .350 OBP. MLB pitchers are worlds better than Double-A ones control and command wise. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-06-27 14:00:00 | How do you see Anthony Gose' bat progressing
(Zach from Toronto) | I don't. Still has huge contact issues. Speed and defense alone will get him to the big leagues, but I'm not sure he'll ever hit. (Kevin Goldstein) |
