Let's resolve some Twins issues

I'm here to address one of the three most apparent problems with the Twins team. The other two are, of course, the bullpen and the fact that Matt Tolbert uses the Cranberries as his walk-up music. But no, the problem to discuss today is Carlos Gomez.
The problem, you see, is exactly the one I envisioned many moons ago. He has absolutely no plate patience, and, believe it or not, it's proven to be problematic for the team. His .246 average so far this season, which is borne mostly of bunts, is actually higher than his average last year.
Looking at his splits this season, his problems are numerous. Gomez can't hit lefties, on the road, when not leading off an inning, with men on base, after the first three innings, in any at bat after his first, versus AL Central opponents, during night games, and when the pope is in transit to the United States. If you parse through that crap that I just wrote right then, you would probably infer that most of his hits come when he is bunting to lead of the game. True.
So, thats part of the problem. He can't hit except for those little lead off bunts. The scary thing is, he's not a particularly gifted bunter. Also scary? He's a lead off hitter with 2 walks through the Twins first 14 games. Thats 2 walks and 16 strikeouts. Thats really, really bad, leadoff hitter or not. Particularly when, as a leadoff man, part of your job is to work the pitcher a little bit so the guys behind you can see what he's got. Sure, it's nice that you can get on base once in a great while, but dude, take a pitch.
Minnesota has a history of encouraging players to hack away, starting with Kirby Puckett and continuing with Torii Hunter, A.J. Pierzynski and continuing to Gomez and Delmon Young today. It's for this reason that I suspect that when Michael Cuddyer comes back, it will be Denard Span sent back to Rochester, despite the fact that in 20 at bats he has more walks than both Gomez and Young, and and is batting near .300, but hey, Gomez won the job, right?
I'm beginning to suspect there is another reason why Ron Gardenhire insists on keeping people like Gomez or Nick Punto in the line up. You know, by now, what i'm talking about. .240ish hitter, no power, never walks, strikes out way too much. He's got a specific type of player in mind, it seems. Interesting.
That being said, send down Gomez for a while, teach him to hit, and keep Span, who actually seems to have things figured out.
