Career
Gimenez went to Gilroy High School, in Gilroy, California, and was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 34th round (1024th overall) of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft, but did not sign.
Gimenez attended the University of Nevada, and was chosen by the Cleveland Indians in the 19th round (557th overall) of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft. He signed and joined the Indians minor league system, playing with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Akron Aeros, Buffalo Bisons, and Columbus Clippers.
He was a non-roster invitee to spring training for the 2008 and 2009 Indians and made his MLB debut on June 3, 2009. On February 24, 2010, Gimenez was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus to make room on the 40-man roster for Russell Branyan. He remained in camp with the Indians for the duration of spring training as a non-roster invitee.
On July 10, 2010, Gimenez's contract was purchased by the Indians and he was added to the active roster, replacing Mike Redmond, who was designated for assignment.[1] Gimenez was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus on October 29, 2010, removing him from the 40-man roster. He filed for free agency on November 6, 2010.
During the 2010 offseason, Gimenez signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners.
