man i smoked crack with Gomez in Uptown MPLS....we were at a party at the art Institute....and we were bullshittin. yah man, this dude isnt a fiend, but he gets high. Drinks like a fuckin lunatic too. and i just made all that up
I hate to burst everyone's Gomez bubble, but when it comes to fastest ball player in the majors, there are a number of guys who can consistently outrun Gomez. For starters Ichiro is and has been recorded as fastest from home to first. Espn scouts have confirmed this in an issue of sports illustrated. Then the list of speed demons goes from Joey Gathright, Carl Crawford, Michael Bourn, THEN Carlos Gomez, followed by Jose Reyes.
@cmwz1000 I hate to be a Dick but gomez bats righty and crawford, ichiro, bourn, and gathright bat lefty which makes home to first time irrelevant seeing that gomez is on the far side of the plate giving him a slight disadvantage
i hate this kid, he loves him some himself. all he has is speed (not the fastest) and an arm (not the best) he is one of the most cockiest players ive ever seen.
what are you smoking!? no way furcal is number 1. and what about michael bourn? nigel morgan of the pirates is fast as well. and no way carlos gomez isn't on that list!
yes Gomez is lightning but i bet if he raced michael bourn, he'd lose. davey lopes even said he's the fastest man i've ever seen, and he worked with guys like nook logan who is real fast and justin maxwell whose even faster! and victorino is not far behind bourn.
Stearns rules! I sent 2 1970s Mets cards of him to Harrisburg with a small note asking if he would sign them for me. Lo' and behold in Friday's mail - there they were. Needless to say I was stoked. "The monster's out of the cage!!!" indeed.
Gomez is sick! I am a twins fan and Gomez has the same look as some of the best lead off hitters in baseball. He can flat out fly.... he is definitely making the Santana trade much less painful.
yes he is fast, but who ever said he was the fastest in the league was high. Ichiro, Crawford, Gathwright 3 guys off the top of my head who are faster.
How do you figure, theres still Victorino and Granderson. I guess the only way to find out who really is the fastest is to have them all race. The last special sports center did on the fastest man in baseball had Ichiro number 1, Crawford number 2, and Reyes number 3. When Gathright and crawford played with each other there was a story about those two racing and Gathright beating him.
im a mets fan... i think people are under estimating who the twins got... gomez is faster then reyes.. he has potential to be a good leadoff hitter if he can hit... guy can steal 50 bases one year if he gets on base..
i am excited about this guy. his raw talent + the twins developing skills= a very good thing for us. plus deolis guerra is gonna develop into a santana typer player. i like this trade unlike everyone else. i started to like it better when i heard santana came to management and said he doesnt want to play for us no matter what. so for being in such a bad situation the twins management didnt do to bad, even though alot of people believe they could of done better. go twins!
This guy is so overrated. You guys trade Lastings (which has talent) for no talent, then hold this loser as the next great thing. If he hits .225 this year, I would consider that a success. Omar is the laughing stock of all of baseball. Maybe Gooden will come out of retirement to fill out your rotation.
I miss Milledge...I liked him too...but Gomez is the real deal. He has speed, power,pop in his bat and swagger. Lets talk again this time next year RaidersFanll!
He does have a little pop (but he certainly hasn't showed it at the major league level, as his ISO is below league averages (which is, like, around .150). He strikes out a lot and draws few walks.
who the fuck are u? he young and put into to a situation where he going up mayor league pitcing givethe kid a break. He gonna be great even carlos beltran siad tat hes better then him wen he was that age.
Just when I thought I'd forgotten about the Dykstra trade, again I have to read the name Juan Samuel and instantly be transported back to remember one of the most hare-brained trades in Mets history. Aside from that, the Gomez kid looks Faaaast!
Relax dude, Samuel's coaching 3B for the O's this year. He's probably a future big league Manager though, and did a decent enough job at Binghamton last year. I wouldn't rule him out for future employment just because Cashen/Johnson made a desperate trade when they thought the ship was sinking...
VOTE REYES FOR NL ALL STAR TEAM! HE DESERVES YOUR VOTES MORE THAN ROLLINS OR TULOWITSKI DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE REYES!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos Gomez consistently OUTRAN Jose Reyes in spring training when he was on the Mets which shows how much baseball you know.

Andrew McCutchen is pretty fast too.
Just because those guys are better baseball players overall doesn't mean they are faster.

He's fast because of his long strides, not because of foot speed, there is a big difference. Now Ichiro, he has foot speed.

He does have a little pop (but he certainly hasn't showed it at the major league level, as his ISO is below league averages (which is, like, around .150). He strikes out a lot and draws few walks.
