Where in the world is Carlos Gomez?

Apparently MetsGeek knows, as Alex Nelson wrote a thorough entry on the speedster's ascent through the Mets farm system. Here At SHKs, we've also had a few links to some of the scuttlebutt surrounding this up-and-coming CFer. With 105 SB in the last two seasons, Gomez could be a terrifying sight for opposing pitchers at the top of the Mets lineup, especially when partnered with Reyes.

That said, his BA and OBP have been .275/.331 at class A and .281/.350 at AA the last two years. There's definitely room for improvement, though the trend is encouraging (especially factoring in a jump in the level of competition). Read Nelson's piece if you want an in-depth look at Gomez' prospects. Here's his summation:

Gomez is still a good prospect due to his age. He’s extremely young for
the Eastern League, and the mere fact that he held his production steady with
some minor improvement despite skipping over High A is a big positive. And there
is no doubt that he’s very talented. But he is still a prospect with some
serious flaws, namely his power and his plate discipline. If even one of those
develops, he could become an elite prospect, but he hasn’t shown it
yet.
