Sunday was a vintage CarGo kind of day.

During Colorado’s 8-2 win over the Reds, Carlos Gonzalez went 4-for-4, starting the game with a mammoth upper-deck homer for his 1,300th career hit that set the tone for the blowout.

But was the strong individual showing from the 32-year-old outfielder a sign that he’s ready to contribute on more than an intermittent basis, as his been his role during the month of May?

One of the Rockies’ all-time greatest outfielders believes so, saying Sunday was indeed the latest indicator that he can produce on an everyday basis for Colorado — as he also strongly stated last week.
