Carlos Gomez has been gracing the pages of Hot Foot for many months now, and The New York Post has finally caught on to the emerging outfielder in the Mets minor league system, Carlos Gomez.
Kevin Kernan profiles the young centerfielder as well as comparing him to Willie Mays.
Gomez smiled when it was brought up. He said, “I think scouts [saw] me catch a couple balls like Willie Mays.”
Gomez turned his back and mimicked catching a ball over his shoulder, a la Mays. The language of baseball speaks volumes.
Binghamton Mets manager Juan Samuel thinks Gomez has a bright future ahead of him.
being a five-tool player,” said Samuel, who spent 16 years in the
majors as an outfielder and infielder. “He has to realize he's going to
make some mistakes. He's being challenged in this league and he has to
accept that challenge.”

The Daily News jumps on the bandwagon as well, citing the revival of the Binghamton Mets driven by Gomez.
One major key has been the maturing of 20-year-old center fielder
Carlos Gomez, who is held in nearly the same regard as Lastings
Milledge. Gomez - the organization's sixth-rated prospect, according to
Baseball America - started slowly after making a big jump from low-A
Hagerstown. But he hit .406 in July and enjoyed an 18-game hitting
streak. Gomez was hitting only .225 before that streak.
Similarly, 23-year-old righthander Miguel Pinango has hit his stride
after making the jump from St. Lucie. After a 1-6 start, Pinango has
been the B-Mets' best pitcher during the past six weeks, despite
bigger-name starters on the staff. He's won seven straight decisions.
