Traded LHPs Gio Gonzalez and Daniel Haigwood and OF Aaron Rowand to the Phillies for 1B Jim Thome.

January 9, 200620 yr I checked the Cube and found nothing. Probably just a scrub to take up some space.
January 9, 200620 yr He played in Japan last year and it looks like he played for the Norfolk Tides in 2003, that's about all I could find. DOB 3/12/85 if it's the same guy.

January 9, 200620 yr Author QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Organizational moves, most likely. Maybe Jonny's long lost relative? We can only hope.
January 9, 200620 yr Name: Anderson Gomes Born: 03/12/1985 Birthplace: Sao Paulo, Brazil Height: 6'1" Weight: 185 Bats: Right Throws: Right Gomes played for the Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS (Iguchi's old team) from 2002 to 2005. He was converted from a pitcher to an outfielder in 2005. He supposedly runs the 100-meter dash in less than 11 seconds and has a good arm. The Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS released Gomes on 10/30/2005.
January 9, 200620 yr Can't say I've heard of many Brazilians playing Baseball before. Looks like another speedy outfielder though. He's definitely going to start in CF and hit in the #2 spot for us then.
