I tend to agree with you about Gomez - but time will tell. Remember, Alfonso Soriano had that long lopping swing and still does.. He has some bat speed and fairly good hitter lol.. That's not to say Gomez has that upside but he's young and you never know.. I am sure hanging out with Delmon Young will help Gomez forget the Lastings Milledge influences :) BC:

Could be the return of the Pirana's. I think B Smith should send Casilla to AAA and move him back to SS, bring him up in August or September to finish the grooming process then let him go next spring. 2009 Lineup

He can play against lefties at DH or outfield from time to time I guess. Punto- if only Gardy didn't have such a love for this guy he'd be great to have on the team in a utility role as AaronK said. However Gardy's gonna keep playing the damn guy too much I have a feeling and that's good for nobody. It's still too early to be talking about who should be for sure winning CF. However, I like sane and cmathewson am really pulling for Gomez to ignite and win the job. I’m all for Monroe being our 4th OF and nothing more.

Gomez should be the CF, and the Santana trade is not a factor But if Monroe relives 33-101, he should get a lot of AB at DH-OF wherever. cmathewson,
I agree.
