His minor league stats the past two seasons (again, this past year he was hurt a ton):
45 g, 77.2 ip, 58 h, 21 r, 17 er, 24 bb, 95 k, 1.97 era, 1.06 whip, 11.0 k/9
So if he's healthy, he could be part of the next wave of "homegrown"* power arms for the Sox.
*By "homegrown" I mean came to the Sox from the minors, even if he didn't spend the majority of his time in the Sox' organization.
Add Gomez to Hernandez, Feltman, Houck, and Groome. Maybe Feltman and Hernandez show up on the scene in 2019 (Feltman more likely than Hernandez probably), and then Gomez in 2020, with Houck and Groome sometime after that. This Gomez signing is a pretty interesting little move.
