Buzz: Omar in Dominican
Over at the Daily News, beat writer Adam Rubin posts an e-mail he received from a source in the Dominican, where GM Omar Minaya has spent the last few days watching winter league ball.
Two notes of interest:
“He was interviewed Sunday and he said that he was watching Carlos Gómez (who is going to get married next Saturday in Santiago, with Moisés Alou his best man and other Mets players at the event).”
…congrats, carlos…looks like you’ve made some quick friends in Queens…whether or not you’ll be spending much time with them next season still remains to be seen…
…on a personal note, carlos and i are the same age, and even the most fleeting thought of marriage scares the bejeezus out of me…
Additionally, Omar said he wasn’t interested in free agent outfielder José Guillén, who played for Seattle last season…well, if Lastings Milledge and/or gomez are traded, there will be a hole to fill in right field… a short term deal with guillen may not be the worst solution…guillen was implicated in purchasing human growth hormone earlier this month, though, so that certainly would cloud any decision…
