lostfan Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Serious question: Is it wrong of me to openly wish for him to tear his ACL? Because I kind of feel like an asshole, but I'm just being honest here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) I give him and Span credit for playing with just a ton of energy. I wish the Sox had a couple guys like Gomez and Span. Gomez is going to be really good in time and Span is playing out of his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomez is going to be really good in time and Span is playing out of his mind. Gomez is like Esteban German with more talent. He sucks against everybody but us. He's so f***ing full of himself it's funny. He's a speed guy without an OBP. He might never learn how to walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) In 18 games and 77 PAs vs. the Sox this year he is hitting .384. Yeah... probably something to that. He is a piece of s***baseball player against almost everyone EXCEPT the Sox. Someone please hit this guy in the knee with a crowbar or something. It's because we apparently don't pay attention to the fact that he'll swing at almost ANYTHING. We throw him pitches over the fat part of the plate, and Hawk slobbers over him when he hits them hard, as pretty much anyone will at this level. Then he takes an extra base on Dye or Griffey plodding over to get the ball, and all of a sudden he's a doubles/triples machine. I also don't understand why Wise was shading him to hit to the right side when apparently the strategy was to get him out on curveballs. At this point Gomez is swinging hard in case he hits it, so anything offspeed is probably going to be pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 .384/.408/.616/1.024 in 73 AB vs the Sox .244/.285/.330/.615 in 491 AB vs everyone else So yeah, when he's not playing the Sox he kinda sucks at baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in like 30 bunt hits... He's not a professional hitter. He's just using his speed at this point. He's also getting some fat fastballs 24% of the time too.

southsider2k5 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'd take him over most of our OF right now. CQ and JD would be the only guys I would rather have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was .229 actually but then I realized that I was dividing by his PAs instead of his ABs. It still sucks though. I don't get why people think he's going to be good, because he was pretty average in the minors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Except 4 guys (Danks, Floyd, Quentin, Ramirez), I'd trade anyone on the Sox for him. Why? We're the only team he hits against. overall: .262/.301/.367, 25 BB, 139 K's, 38 XBH against the Sox: .384/.408/.616 3 BB, 15 K's, 10 XBH Edited September 26, 2008 by santo=dorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If Carlos Gomez was a White Sox , he would be very popular on this board. Not at Soxtalk, but perhaps at WSI. I saw somebody penciling in Podsednik for next year's team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somebody penciling in Podsednik for next year's team. Look how popular Owens, Fields, and Wassermann were on this board last year playing meaningless games and none with the potential of Gomez. He would be very popular. He has a lot of flaws, but he has a lot of ability and is very young. I don't think he's Rickey Henderson II like Hawk does, but he has a chance to be outstanding.

Sure, but he also isn't patient at the plate, strikes out a lot for a guy without power, and hasn't shown an ability to drive the ball. He also hasn't shown the ability to consistently put the ball in play and for a guy who apparently will rely entirely on athleticism that is important. He has a lot of potential but he has a lot to improve on before he even becomes a respectable major league hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
