Second, I'm not as optimistic about Gomez's future. Having played and coached baseball for a lot of years and watched it since 1956 (Phillies & BROOKLYN Dodgers @ Connie Mack Stadium in Philly), here is my take. Gomez plays outfield on instinct and does things you cannot teach. However, at bat and on the bases he lacks baseball sense which you also cannot teach. I wish the guy well, but if does not make it with the Brewers he'll need to find another day job. First of all, you know your stuff and I love your take on most things sports.
