Still, it didn't seem that Gomez was the answer. Or at least not yet. Maybe in 3 years.

VORP doesn't factor in defensive contribution. He was a +1.4 win player in less than a full season in 2009, even with the offensive problems. He’d have been nearly a 2 win player if he hadn’t been sent down solely to postpone free agency.
Plus his BABIP was was abnormally low, at something like .258
