FACTS/FLUKES: Gomez, Salazar, Colome, Vogt, Naquin

Can Gomez rebound? ... Simply put, Carlos Gómez's (OF, TEX) tenure with HOU was a disaster—he hit just .201 with 9 HR in 444 AB from 2015-16. After an August DFA, Gomez re-appeared in TEX and teased us with a scorching September (.326 BA, 6 HR, 4 SB). Any chance those glory days are coming back?
