From a purely statistical point of view, Rays right fielder Carlos Gomez does not deserve much attention this season. One might write a post wondering what happened to the Gomez of 2013 and 2014, or ask what went right during his 33-game stint in Texas with the Rangers and how we might duplicate it — but Gomez has more to offer us than just his numbers.
It’s hard to imagine a player who has been more captivating, entertaining, and watchable this season for the Rays than Gomez, and that’s really saying something considering the year they’ve had.
