GomeGome''s type of wacky hair-on-fire persona plays better in the early twenties than the late 20's, like the kind of $#!^ you used to get away with in college that totally doesn't fly a couple of years later. Or like Bill James said of Roberto Alomar at around his age 25 or so season. I'm paraphrasing, but it's close: 'People still dismiss Alomar's mental mistakes as a product of his youth, but they forget that he's already had five full seasons in the majors. By now the common sense aspects of baserunning, for instance, should be second nature to Alomar, and yet there he is, twice a week, wandering the basepaths like a squirrel on a highway.'
