Johnny Gomes in RF next year?

[bigJOE]

ok......first year in the bigs.........he's hitting .279 w/ 15 dingers in 57 games. he does whiff a lot (60). but he's young.......24, turning 25 in nov.

also, pretty good arm to put in RF.......has 3 assists in only 26 starts in the outfield. does have 4 errors.

and he may be available pretty cheap........

from Ken Rosenthal........

Devil Rays OF Jonny Gomes has displayed stunning power, hitting 15 home runs in his first 197 at-bats, but he figures to be squeezed next season by the arrival of top prospect Delmon Young. Gomes could become the team's DH or possibly be traded for pitching; the Royals have shown interest.


double oh and i were yapping about this. would be a cheap and productive option.

I think Backstop was the one who was pushing for this a few months back before the trade deadline..cant't remember exactly who..put it was definitely Gomes.

If Chuck LaMar couldn't be talked into giving up players like Huff that will be considerably more expensive to keep, he's not going to give up a Johnny Gomes that he can pay the minimum.

Never underestimate the idiocy of LaMar.
