Jonny Gomes OK with platoon role
by Chris Cwik \| CBSSports.com (5/21/13) Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes is fine with being a platoon player, according to the Boston Globe. Gomes admitted it's easier to "evaluate" himself in a full-time role, but he's OK with being a part-time player as long as it helps the team. "To me, it’s valuable to just win. I know everybody wants to win. If I play and we win, I don’t really care what else happens," Gomes said. He said you have to "grind and fight" as a platoon player, and be willing to "get hit in the neck if you have to." Gomes is hitting .190/.347/.316 in 79 at-bats. He's seen an equal amount of at-bats against both righties and lefties, but is starting to be used primarily against left-handers.

Jonny Gomes looking like platoon player
by Jeff Lippman \| CBSSports.com (5/11/13) Although Red Sox manager John Farrell says Jonny Gomes is not a platoon player, he hasn't started against a right-handed pitcher in almost three weeks, MLB.com reported Saturday. "But that seems to be where his best production comes," Farrell was quick to add. Gomes, who started Saturday against Toronto left-hander Mark Buehrle, hasn't started against a righty since April 23. Daniel Nava continues to see most of the at-bats in those cases. Gomes had seen 16 at-bats in May entering Saturday and has gone 4 for 16 (.250) with a homer and five RBI.

Gomes, who added a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, went 1 for 5 and is batting .211 on the year. He's up to seven RBI over 57 at-bats.
