Wow, did anyone see what the Pirates have done? Seems like they are getting shed of people while they can still get some return. This isn't bad management.
Rumor has it Gomez is a clubhouse nut job. Maybe a drunk or dopehead or likes to fuck stray cats, minor things if he's an all-star, but not so much hitting like Drew Stubbs. He's a free agent at the end of the year, so not a lot to lose on a DFA or waiver. The Stros have an OF or OF prospect from half the MLB teams organizations, and a few they even drafted. They don't need this guy.
