How the mighty have fallen

Astros designate Carlos Gomez for assignment

too bad - I really liked CarGo but plenty happy with what the Brewskis got in return

Yeah, that one came as a bit of shock to me as well, but hopefully it turns to COMPLETE AND UTTER SHIT!!!

And this is the guy Sandy Alderson wanted last year rather than Cespidis

Gomez had a huge upside when he was traded so I would suspect several GM's whose team was in the hunt had their sights set on him

In the end it worked out well for both teams. The Brewers would have gotten Wheeler, who has had a few set backs and looks like may not pitch at all this year and Flores who's been underwhelming to say the least. Looks like the Brews did better with the 2nd trade and Cespidis helped get the Mutts to the W.S.

I agree, he used to be so talented, seems like he might have got lost in the shuffle in Houston.

Gomez did have a BABIP well above his career norms in 2013-14. Still pretty stunning how much he's fallen.

I had him in a keeper league and last offseason, I had to choose to drop him or Sal Perez. I dropped Gomez.

Winning.

I remember that. As I recall you had a thread about it and I agreed that keeping Perez was the better move. Some prat called us both idiots for that. I should go find that thread to gloat.

Yeah, that sounds great. Let's do it.

As a Braves fan, Carlos Gomez can eat a bowl of dicks.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister said Sunday that Carlos Gomez will be the team's everyday left field when he's called up on Thursday.

The Rangers decided to take a shot on Gomez with Shin-Soo Choo (forearm) out for the season, and evidently the plan is to stick him in the lineup regularly. Gomez is currently at Triple-A Round Rock, where he'll get in a handful of at-bats before joining the big club. The veteran outfield has batted only .210/.272/.322 over 323 plate appearances this season, making him hard to trust in fantasy leagues even though he's got an everyday job again.

They must've felt like a change of scenery would do him some good. We'll see. It doesn't cost them anything.

Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers in exchange for Brett Phillips, Domingo Santana, Josh Hader and Adrian Houser


working pretty well for the Brew Crew right now

Gomez hits a 3 run bomb in his first at bat with Texas.
