He was known as the "Loose Cannon" when he played here, because apparently Ron Gardenhire decided that calling him "Gomsie" would be problematic. Bet a few Twins fans wish he were still here, though.

Go go
He didn't last long in Minnesota, but Carlos Gomez is turning out to be a heck of a player. And a heck of an agitator, too.

Or that JJ Hardy was still here, at least.
No question that the numbers Gomez is putting up now would be *very* welcome in the current Twins lineup. However, I still would take JJ Hardy over Go Go, especially with OF Byron Buxton a year or two away.
Gomez had a similar incident last year against Atlanta where he and the pitcher were jawing at each other after he hit a HR. If the opposing pitcher is that hypersensitive to Go Go's antics, just bury a fastball in his backside the next time he's up.
