I think it's a great move. Trade Gonzalez while he's absolutely hot to get a SS they has the potential to be just as good as Gonzalez year after year.
Call me a skeptic, but I'd bet on Gonzalez keeping up that < .300 OBP before I'd bet on him showing the same power in the 2nd half.
I wouldn't call his year "great" by any means - his HR total is pretty much all he's got (which I can't discount) but I'm seriously doubting he approaches 35 HR this year. .296 OBP. ouch.
