Gomez had a lot of buzz when he came up last year for the Mets and he truly had flashes of brilliance. He didn't hit well but very few do their first call up. The problem with the Mets' prospects is that they always seem to get a lot more pumping from the press than they should. At one point, Lastings Milledge was viewed as being a 5 tool player with more upside than Gomez ever had. Also see: Bill Pulsipher, Paul Wilson, etc. etc.
