Memories of Carlos Gomez

On the day one Met named Carlos stepped/was nudged aside, another — Carlos Gomez — revealed his decision to retire. He finished his thirteen-season MLB run as he began it, as a Met. In his second term, he stood somewhere below Rajai Davis but above Aaron Altherr as a stopgap outfielder. Kept bringing the enthusiasm to the end.

Yup, one of those 'born a Met/died a Met' types ... even with a bunch of stops in between.

I'll oddly remember his half-season with us more fondly than the stats would indicate. I will also perpetually remember him as the other half of the Wilmer Flores Thing.

MetsRosterCentral speculates that no two-time Met has ever created a hardier career sandwich out of thinner bread — achieving a greater difference between the total productivity of his two tenures subtracted from the total productivity in between.
