Giovany A. Gonzalez (born September 19, 1985, in Hialeah, Florida) is a left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. Gonzalez attended Hialeah High School in Hialeah, Florida, for the first 3 years of his high school career, where they won two state championships and nearly won a third. After his junior year, he transferred over to Monsignor Edward Pace High School in 2004. He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 1st round. In 2005, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Aaron Rowand and Daniel Haigwood for slugger Jim Thome. Gio was rated the # 2 prospect in the Phillies' system behind Cole Hamels by Baseball America in 2006. In December 2006, Gio was traded back to the White Sox with Gavin Floyd for Freddy Garcia.
