Carlos Gomez

Carlos Gomez had a sensational year on defense for the Minnesota Twins in 2008. His offense needs some work, but he showed a little pop and some bunting ability. Hopefully he will continue to show improvement in his approach at the plate and increase his average and walks so that he can wreak some havoc on the basepaths.
