For Peavy steroid use would be a waste of money, in the case of the other two a couple of duds. I still remember Gomes antics when he played here.
Was going through an old 2002 California Lg. (Upper A Minors), Game Score Card, Lancaster JetHawks vs. Bakersfield Blaze-(Independent Team-with several MLB Team sponsored players).
Gomes, was 2nd in the Lg. in RBI's, BUT went 0-5 with 4K's and a deep fly out. Threw a fit every time he struck out, worse than a Little Leaguer with an attitude.
Dan Uggla was on the local team, D'Backs affiliate, had 1 double, a line drive off the LF wall....then commenced to strike out in his next 3 at bats.
The Hero of the Day was Rocco Baldelli, a 4-5 night, 2 doubles, 5 RBI's and 4 Runs Scored. Baldelli was 2nd in the league mid season; with a .396 B'Avg. The Leader and rest of both Roster's never made it to the Majors....!!!
The moral to this tale, If an a-hole in the Minors, most likely to remain one for life in the Majors...!!!
