The Chukar Cherry bench is getting mighty thin. Come to think of it, so is the starting rotation (Ohka, Batista...ugh). You know who's to blame here.
Devil Rays optioned outfielder-designated hitter Jonny Gomes to Triple-A Durham.
Rays manager Joe Maddon makes it pretty obvious who his favorites are, and it was clear he was down on Gomes even before the regular season started. Given the chance, Gomes would at least match Ty Wigginton's .244 average and .446 slugging percentage while besting his .277 OBP by 50 points or more. However, one of those two has spent the season as the regular cleanup hitter, while the other had started 14 times in 48 games. Gomes needs a chance to move on.
