Spencer Fordin takes a look at Mike Bordick 2.0 - Chris Gomez.

Gomez could lead to some interesting tactical options for the Jays next year. He's got a rather exagerrated reverse platoon split, over the last 3 years the righty has hit .274 against righties (732 OPS) and .217 against lefties. I'd assume he'd get a number of at bats against righties, but righty shortstop Chris Woodward also has a reverse platoon split. Although Gomez is a good player, it's likely the less at bats he gets, the better the Jays will be. If Woodward and Hudson are playing well and Hinske stays healthy, Gomez will have trouble getting in the lineup.
