Some stat breakdown on Gomes, last 2 years vs LHP ---
He has a .387 OBP
He walks 16.1% of his PA. This year 16.0 is the 4th best (vs LHP/RHP) in MLB
His Slug is .402 ( That's lower than Salvy .425 and Moose .447)
Big question is are those numbers worthy of getting a start in a playoff game, leaving Rios/Infante on the bench. Gomes is worse than Rios on D, and would be by far our worst player in the field.
He won't sniff an at bat vs a RHP, so even if he starts, there is a very good chance he only plays 6 innings max. By then, a RHP is likely to come in to face the bottom of the lineup or we pinch run for him if he gets on in the 6th/7th
