They probably were not comfortable with Gomez and Milledge in the lineup at the same time. That's to be understood.

I'm curious how many Met fans thought on opening day our roster was going to consist of both of those players? I should have done a poll after the season to see how many people thought they would.

Because Moises Alou can't make it past 100 games... So Gomez is going to be in the lineup for about half the season. Seriously dude, think of scenarios before you post.

Vyse,

Barring injuries to outfielders in spring trading there is no way the Mets were going to have both Milledge and Gomez on the 25 man roster for opening day. Not with Chavez, Easley and Anderson already on the bench. Right or wrong they would have sent Gomez down to New Orleans to get his at bats, which is the same thing they did with Milledge the last couple of seasons.

Think before you post.

Gomez probably needs a full year, or close to it, in AAA. He'll likely get most of that. This trade doesn't change o whole lot in that regard.
