I think that trade was a move that needed to be done. If you are not getting any type of production from a man that plays the same position as some good prospects down in triple-a, a move has to be made. Gomes, outside of one month last year, has been extremely unproductive hovering just above the Mendoza line... When your offense NEEDS a spark in the middle of the lineup something has to be done. Getting Alonso in there may boost the energy and redefine this lineup.
