This just in: Jonny Gomes likes money.

Best thing gomes can do.
BTW is ther any chance pujols goes to toronto? Might be a good fit and now with the possibility of a second wild card the chance of toronto making the playoffs will be greater.

“In the opinion of GM Mike Rizzo, “all three of them have had good solid seasons.”
….uhhh….really? Ankiel leads the 3 of them with a .300 OBP and a 2.5 WAR (1.9 of the is DWAR which I don’t buy for a second). Nix has a 0.8 WAR and Gomes a 0.4 WAR. None of them have had good, solid seasons.

Do you expect him to say that they all suck except Ankiel sucks a little less because of his defense? The sad thing is you actually looked up all their numbers to prove him wrong when he’s obviously speaking politically
rayking
He’s not required to say anything at all about them. While he certainly wouldn’t say “all three of them had replacement level player-type seasons,” saying nothing at all about them would be preferable to saying something so egregiously false.
Fifty_Five
Obviously he didn’t wake up and alert the press by saying Ankiel, Gomes, and Nix have had stellar seasons! Some dumb reporter probably said “well what do you think of the job that these three scrubs have done?” And rightfully so, all he says is they’ve been solid. Its a non issue anyway I don’t know why I’m going into this much depth

Solution: Trade him to Toronto

Ankiel has a 2.5 WAR. Thats pretty surprising
johnsilver
That is what happens when you give up anything to acquire a strike out prone, can’t get on base, defensive liability and think you can get a draft pick by offering arbitration.
Billy Hall makes more sense than this guy and that is bad.

Gomes is who you sign if you are too cheap to pay $5M/year to your 3rd outfielder.

Outfield help available this off-season is pretty crappy
Have Morse in Left, Ankiel in CF, and Werth in RF, and then have Nix and Gomes as 4th OF/PH off the bench
comish4lif
I can see the Nats going with:
– Morse in left
– Werth in Center
– Nix/Gomes in a strict platoon in right
… and waiting for Harper to arrive in mid-season..

Gomes is a minor league contract waiting to happen.

For the last time its Jonny GO-MEZ.
He’s of Portugese ancestry and Gomes is pronounced the same as Gomez, which is Spanish.
Gomes doesn’t rhyme with gnomes or homes.
I an annoyed by this every time a broadcaster pronounces his name wrong.
crashcameron
except the HE and HIS FAMILY pronounce it gow-mz. his brother did not say, ‘Hi I’m Joey Go-mez.” and don’t you think Jonny would have said something to the home-field announcers by now???
the issue is yours not theirs
BluEandOrange
Actually, you’re wrong. It derives from Catalan which is from the community in Spain, Catalonia. The original Catalan word is Gomis.
Gomes is a Portugese word and is pronounced the same as Gomez, which is from the bordering country Spain.Seems that you and those that “liked” your comment were corrected.
crashcameron
First, how am I wrong? i didn’t say anything about the origin of the name, you did. and you may be absolutely right. yet wrong because you absolutely missed the point. The family goes with gowmz, so are you saying THEY are wrong? spent a few weeks around Joey Gomes (he was with an independent team) and he did not strike me as a guy that would have let people call him “gowmz” if it was “go-mez”
so take it up with the family. i’d love to see Joey’s reaction.
man, i get pissed when someone come across as pompous know-it-alls.

Don’t get me wrong, Rick Ankiel is not All Star material, but how do you, ahardy55, question his defense? Maybe he lacks range — I simply don’t know if he does or does not — but he tracks balls better than anyone I’ve seen play the outfield in DC since 2005 and his arm alone probably accounts for a big chunk of his WAR number.

Ankiel is a solid defender with a arm. If you keep any of the three it would be him.
