Newsbreakers
December 21, 2009
Jonny Gomes could get a look from the Mets if they're unable to sign free agent Jason Bay, according to the New York Post.
Our View:
The Mets are looking to add power to their outfield, a trait Gomes certainly does possess. Gomes has always fared much better against lefties than righties and it's unclear if the Mets would envision him as an everyday player or in a platoon, so stay tuned.
December 13, 2009
The Reds are working on bringing Jonny Gomes back for the 2010 season, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Our View:
He was non-tendered by the club on Saturday. Gomes socked 20 home runs in only 98 games in 2009, and will likely be back in 2010.
December 12, 2009
Jonny Gomes has been non-tendered by the Reds.
Our View:
A bit surprising, considering the team recently let both Laynce Nix and Daryl Thompson walk. After socking 20 home runs in 2009, a lot of teams should be interested in him as a fourth outfielder.
December 8, 2009
According to Mark Sheldon on Twitter, the Reds and the agent for outfielder Jonny Gomes are apparently still "a ways apart" in negotiations.
Our View:
The Reds have already let Laynce Nix and Daryl Thompson walk, so they have some definite interest in Gomes, but aren't willing to overpay. He's arbitration eligible this winter, so if the two sides can't come to an agreement soon he could be let go. Last season he hit 20 homers and drove in 51 in just 281 at-bats.
November 24, 2009
The Reds are likely to offer Jonny Gomes arbitration this offseason, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Our View:
Gomes didn't exactly light it up last season, but he displayed his usual power (20 home runs in just 281 at-bats), and the team has already allowed both Laynce Nix and Daryl Thompson to walk. With a career on-base percentage of .330, he shouldn't command too much money, either.
November 23, 2009
FoxSports.com is reporting that the Cincinnati Reds are unsure about the role Jonny Gomes could play next season. Gomes hit .267 with 20 homers in just 98 games with the team last season, and he is arbitration-eligible this winter.
Our View:
One scout commented that the Reds would be wise to find a spot for him next season, as he could be a potential power threat for the team next season. He is widely regarded as a defensive liability, but he made just two errors in 70 appearances as an outfielder last season.
September 27, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 2-for-4 with his 51st RBI on Sunday, but the Reds got edged 3-2 by the Astros in Houston.
Our View:
The RBI was his tenth this month. He figures to be the Reds' third or fourth outfielder in 2010.
September 11, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off Jeff Stevens in Friday's 6-4 loss at Chicago.
Our View:
The Reds only had six hits in the game, and Gomes accounted for most of their scoring. Gomes has three homers over eight games this month, and 19 for 2009. He launched a career-high 21 homers with the Rays in 2005, and should top that total as long as he stays healthy.
September 7, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez in Monday's 4-3 loss at Colorado.
Our View:
Gomes hit a homer in two of five games this month, and has 18 for the season. He is hitting for a good average at .284 as well.
September 4, 2009
Jonny Gomes helped the Reds to a 3-1 win over the Braves on Friday. Gomes went 2-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and a RBI in the win.
Our View:
Gomes has shown the ability to hit the long ball when he gets a chance to play, as he now has 17 on the season. His .285 average is respectable, and he has deveoped into a decent NL-only option.
August 28, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Friday night, helping Homer Bailey and the Reds beat the Dodgers 4-2 at home.
Our View:
Gomes now has 11 home runs and 24 RBI since the All-Star break, and is a solid NL-only player.
August 16, 2009
Jonny Gomes dropped another bomb on Sunday but the Reds fell to the Nats by a score of 5-4. Gomes went 2-for-4 with a homer, a run scored and three RBI in the game.
Our View:
Gomes has really started to show off the power as of late, and he has always been able to hit the long ball when given a chance to play. He isn't much of an average guy, but if you need a guy on your bench who can hit for some power he would be a good fit.
August 13, 2009
On a night where Bronson Arroyo was unstoppable, Jonny Gomes couldn't be stopped. The Reds right fielder had his second career three home run game and drove in five, as the Reds embarrassed the Nationals 7-0 in Cincinnati.
Our View:
His other three homer game came against the Royals all the way back on July 30, 2005, when he was a member of the Rays (back then they were still the Devil Rays!). Gomes hadn't been hitting too many homers since getting put in the lineup every day because of injuries to Jay Bruce and Chris Dickerson, but he now has 14 on the season.
August 1, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Ubaldo Jimenez in tonight's 6-2 loss to Colorado at the Great American Ballpark.
Our View:
Gomes crushed his 11th homer of the season, and has been a decent source of power as of late for fantasy owners. Six of his homers were launched in July.
July 27, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Monday's 6-4 win over San Diego at home.
Our View:
Gomes hit a homer in four of his last seven games, and has 10 for the season. He should remain a solid source for power while replacing the injured Jay Bruce in the Reds' outfield.
July 19, 2009
Jonny Gomes provided the big bat on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI as the Reds beat Milwaukee 5-3 at home.
Our View:
Gomes figures to see plenty of playing time in Cincinnati's injury ravaged outfield, but isn't an option in any format unless he's able to hit a reasonable amount of home runs while Jay Bruce is out.
July 16, 2009
Jonny Gomes will replace the injured Chris Dickerson in the Reds' lineup on Thursday. Dickerson was a late scratch from the lineup with back spasms.
Our View:
Gomes was planning on spending another day on the bench, but he gets the nod since Dickerson can't go. Gomes has managed to go deep eight times and steal eight bases this year, and he may see some more time in the lineup with Dickerson and Bruce both ailing.
June 26, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 2-for-3 with an RBI in tonight's 9-2 loss at Cleveland. Both of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
Gomes has two hits in four of his last five games, and has an RBI in three straight. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while he is swinging a hot stick.
June 24, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off Scott Richmond in Wednesday's 8-2 loss at Toronto. His other knock was a single.
Our View:
Gomes hit two homers over his last four games, and is batting .340 for the season. He is worth consideration for NL-only leagues if you need help in the outfield.
June 13, 2009
Jonny Gomes went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in Friday's 4-1 loss at Kansas City.
Our View:
The Reds only mustered three hits in the game, and Gomes was their only source of scoring. He hit his first homer of the season tonight.
May 25, 2009
Jonny Gomes hit third in the Reds order on Monday and finished the game 3-for-4 with three RBI. He also drew a walk as the Reds defeated the Astros 8-5.
Our View:
Gomes has started each of the last three games for Cincinnati. He took Jay Bruce's spot in the field today, and he has replaced Laynce Nix in other games. We would be surprised to see him develop into an everyday outfielder on a team with quality depth, but he's off to a decent start since being called up. For fantasy purposes, hold off for now.
May 25, 2009
Jonny Gomes is slated to start in right field for today's home game against the Astros, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Our View:
Jay Bruce gets the day off to rest while stuck in an 0-for-13 slump. Gomes has good power and is worth consideration for deeper lineups while playing at the Great American Ballpark.
May 22, 2009
Jonny Gomes has been recalled by the Reds, according to the team Twitter page. Gomes will replace Darnell McDonald, who was designated for assignment.
Our View:
Gomes has the potential to be a power threat for the Reds if he can get into the lineup on a regular basis. He is a strikeout machine, but he may be worth a look in NL-only leagues if he starts to see some playing time.
April 23, 2009
Jonny Gomes hit his first home run of the season for Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Our View:
Despite Chris Dickerson's slow start at the major league level, Gomes hasn't done much to make Dickerson nervous. Gomes is now hitting just .262-1-6 for the season with 13 strikeouts in 12 games.
April 8, 2009
Updating a previous report, Jonny Gomes has accepted his assignment to Triple-A, according to MLBlogs.com. He could have opted for free agency, but chose to stay with the Reds' organization.
Our View:
Gomes will likely stay in Triple-A unless one of the utility players on the Reds gets injured. He's not known for tearing the cover off the ball (.182 average in 2008) and won't hold any fantasy value even if he is recalled at some point.
April 8, 2009
Jonny Gomes has not decided whether to accept a demotion to Triple-A Louisville or become a free agent, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Our View:
The Reds reassigned Gomes to minor league camp, and GM Walt Jocketty will contact his agent today. Gomes has solid power, but the Reds did not have a spot for him in their outfield.
April 5, 2009
The Reds reassigned Jonny Gomes to minor league camp on Sunday, according to USA Today.
Our View:
Gomes was hot out of the gates in spring but struggled down the stretch, eventually leading to his exclusion from Cincinnati's Opening Day roster. He should be the first guy called up from the team's minor league system if they find themselves in need of another powerful right-handed bat but is not worth owning before that happens.
March 13, 2009
Jonny Gomes drove in the only run of the game Friday against the Twins with a third-inning home run. The blast was Gomes' first of the spring.
Our View:
Gomes is involved in a three-man battle with Chris Dickerson and Jerry Hairston Jr. for a starting outfield spot. While not necessarily suited to play everyday, Gomes may be utilized to play periodically against left-handed pitching.
February 9, 2009
Jonny Gomes is expected to compete with Chris Dickerson and Jerry Hairston Jr. for the starting spot in left field, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Gomes could post solid numbers in the power department if he wins the job while playing his home games at launching pad Great American Ballpark, but his low average and OBP would leave a lot to be desired. Chris Dickerson seems a better bet to start as of now.
January 19, 2009
The St. Petersburg Times reports that outfielder Jonny Gomes signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Monday. "I had other deals for more money but this is the best fit," Gomes said. "I'm really stoked."
Our View:
For anyone who followed the Rays last season, you are probably aware that he led the team in tackles as he was typically the first man involved in celebrations and skirmishes. He has always possessed good power and Great American Ballpark is certainly a good match for that skill - assuming he makes the big league roster.
