Things you can't appreciate until you see them in person
Carlos Gomez is frickin' HUGE! You can't really appreciate it on TV because he is a lanky speedster, but he IS 6'4". What's listed in the book is actually true! For various reasons, I had never seen the man live and in person, and I have to say, I've fallen in love all over again. He started off explosively in a Twins uniform, then I sort of fell out of love because of his awful play. But man, seeing him in person, I can see what there is to love. He is a physical specimen of the same mold as Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer. Watch out when Gomez gets his man muscles.
Until then, maybe we should put him in Rochester? (By the way, that's him next to Alexi Casilla, for camparison. Half a foot taller)

Putting him next to Casilla is unfair. Putting anyone (other than Cabrera or Punto) next to Casilla is going to make the other man seem tall.
Gomez has the most beautiful smile of all the Twins. For the record.
