HOw come there was an asterick next to Gonzalezs name in teh box score. The funny thing is he wasnt set to pitch releif at all but why did HAL use him and why the asterick?

It might be because of Edgar Gonzalez.

Its a typo.
On the ratings disk, if a pitcher has an "*", that means he is a lefty. For instance Bedard is shown as [b:eddc137252]Bedard,E*[/b:eddc137252]. There are 3 pitchers on the disk with an "*" who are RHP: Gonzalez, Anthony Reyes and Jered Weaver.
On the disk Weaver, and the other two, show up like this: [b:eddc137252]Weaver*,J[/b:eddc137252], with the asterisk after the last name instead of the initial.
Somewhere in the transcription/data entry process they got the "*" added inadvertently. Here is a [url=http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratomatic/2007/league/boxscore.html?group_id=141&g_id=139]box score[/url] with Weaver with the "*".
