Outfielder Carlos Gomez had been with the Twins since February 2008. Nicknamed "Go-Go," he brought excitement to the team with his blazing speed and defensive skills, but also frustrated coaches and fans with his lapses.

By Nick N.(noreply@blogger.com) Bill Smith made his first big offseason splash today, sending Carlos Gomez to the Brewers in return for shortstop J.J. Hardy, who was a suggested trade acquisition in my offseason blueprint. The deal swaps two players who both saw their value drop with rough seasons in 2009, though surely Ha...

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) What Happened To All The Bunt Hits?Last year the Twins tied the all-time MLB record for bunt hits in a season with 68, while no other team managed even 40. Carlos Gomez led baseball with 30, which would have ranked sixth among teams, and Alexi Casilla was second in the AL with 16 despite playin...

By Aaron(noreply@blogger.com) Jose Mijares showed that he could have a post-baseball career in plus-size modeling by dressing up in lingerie and letting Carlos Gomez get fresh with him. Seriously: Justin Morneau is approximately as good at blogging as I am at hitting.

By noreply@blogger.com (Nick N.) The Twins accomplished a lot of things during the year of 2008. They locked up Justin Morneau and Joe Nathan with long-term deals, acquired a couple potential young lineup fixtures in Delmon Young and Carlos Gomez, worked Francisco Liriano back from elbow surgery, moved several players...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nick N.) Another key factor worth considering is the fact that Revere is somewhat redundant in this organization. Not only are there several athletic center-field types in front of him -- such as Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Jason Pridie, Dustin Martin and Joe Benson -- he's also got the organizati...

By Leslie Monteiro It will be interesting how the Twins get by. Carlos Gomez and Delmon Young can rest easy because they will be playing everyday. There’s no question that Cuddyer’s presence would effect Gomez’s and Young’s playing time had Cuddyer been healthy.

By Leslie Monteiro Carlos Gomez and Alexi Casilla are on base often with Joe Mauer driving them home. Justin Morneau is a threat when he is at the plate. Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer, Brian Buscher, and Delmon Young are hitting well. Nick Punto, Denard Span, and Brendan Harris have gotten into the act also.

By soco In the subsequent inning the Twins tacked on with Brendon Harris off a Carlos Gomez double.  This would be all the Twins would get, but it would prove to be more than enough off another listless night for the Diamondbacks’ offense. God Emperor of Suck: Randy Johnson 29.2%  

By Leslie Monteiro Sabathia’s jam came in the first inning when he had Carlos Gomez and Alexi Casilla on base to start the inning. He got out of it when Joe Mauer flied out, and when he got the double play with Morneau flied out, and Gomez getting doubled off.

By Rox Girl 1. Johan Santana has an ERA+ of 120, while Carlos Gomez has an OPS+ of 111 for the Twins with solid defense and 16 SB's thus far. If that was all there was to this trade, it would look like a fairly even exchange. However, there's a lot more going on there. Santana was supposed to steamroll through th...
