2k17: Carlos Gomez

[joncarlos]

2016 Astros: 323 PA, 210/272/322, 6.5% BB, 31% K, 5 HR, 13 SB, .260 BABIP, 1.64 G/F
2016 Rangers: 130 PA, 284/362/543, 10% BB, 27.7% K, 8 HR, 5 SB, .384 BABIP, 0.72 G/F

Can I get that second guy? Steamer is hedging, with a projection of 594 PA, 253/319/414, 18 HR and 21 SB.

I'm not at all sold that the speed will be there, and if it's not, then he's a .260-20hr-5sb guy, which isn't exciting. Unless the G/F and crazy high ISO portends a real change in approach, in which case he could hit more like 25-27 HR. But .380 BABIPs and fly-ball heavy approaches don't usually go together.

He went for $40 last year after I paid $65 for him in 2015, so I'm pretty sure he'll go for more than I'd be willing to pay (~$20).

[Sour Masher]

He burnt me last year, and I suspect I'm not alone on souring on him. His stock is down but he has the talent to surprise. Could be a good buy low for folks willing to gamble. I do think he could make up for his lower sb numbers with more power, but I'm not going to be the one to bid him up.

[virgonomic]

His numbers in Texas were inline with what he was doing in Milwaukee. I think he's a lock for 20 HR 20 SB. If the price is right he could be a huge value.
