Perhaps one of the better trades in the history of the Colorado Rockies organization is the one that brought Venezuelan dynamo, Carlos Gonzalez to the team.  Gonzalez, who as of this writing is still with Colorado, had a breakout season in 2010, where he won his first Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and won the Batting Title with a .336 tally.  The Outfielder has not had a season like that since, but has been very good going to multiple All-Star Games, winning more Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers, the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award (2012) and he would reach the 1,000 Hit Mark with the Rockies.

He has also had four consecutive 20/20 seasons (2010-13), along with a 40 Home Run campaign in 2015.  Gonzalez stayed with the Rockies until 2019, when he signed with the Cleveland Indians.  With Colorado, Gonzalez hammered 227 Home Runs with a .516 Slugging Percentage,
