Good point(s). I don't remember Gomez bashing to any significant extent, however, when Kent moved East, every BB I read -- yes, here too (LOL) -- had people bashing Kent big-time.

All the critics were saying he would be a mid-pack jock, a 10% jock, a face in the crowd, he was a has-been, couldn't cut it on the West coast any longer so he had to make a move, and so on and so on.
