White Sox should target Jonny Gomes

Jonny Gomes could really do some damage in U.S. Cellular Field. 

After a year to forget in Tampa Bay in 2008, Gomes signed on in Cincinnati and did damage coming mostly as a reserve outfielder, making just under 300 at-bats.

2009 - Jonny Gomes 98 281 39 75 17 0 20 51 26 85 3 1 .267 .338 .541

Gomes hit .307 with 5 home runs and a .369 on-base percentage in 101 at-bats versus lefties last season while compiling a .244 average versus righties with 15 home runs. 

Gomes could be used in the DH spot and in the corner outfield with the White Sox, giving the team a low cost option who offers power and insurance if anyone goes down with an injury.
