Astros DFA Carlos Gomez

[disarcina]

when we play quality teams like the Cubs, it just highlights how far away we are from being a serious contender

There have been some grumblings internally about Escobar. In the past, he was more vocal, which rubbed his teammates the wrong way. For the Angels, he mostly keeps to himself.

'Cuz no one likes him...

The Ron Roenicke factor makes me think the Angels may sign him next year. But there's no point in giving up anyone with a heartbeat for him now.

The Mets are fighting for a wild card spot, they could use help in CF and he started out in the organization....so I could see that (see link to MLB TradeRumors above) but I agree about the Angels and most everybody else....

On a great team Gomez is a pinch runner, on the Angels he would become the starting LFer.

I noticed that after I posted...no real benefit in us picking him up now....

It could act as a trial run to see if we wanted to make him an offer for next season.

Might be damaged goods
