          Fantasy free agents of interest are the topic in this space each Thursday, and earlier this week a real-life free agent returned home, I suppose, agreeing to play with the Milwaukee Brewers. Lefty Gio Gonzalez is not a guaranteed top-40 starting pitcher for fantasy, though we ranked him that way early last season, but he is consistent, reliable and he superficially shined in a brief stint with the eventual NL Central champions last season.
