I'm calling Gordon's 107 ABs against LH'ers a fluke. Also, probably his 243 ABs against RH'ers. This is an anomaly. Just look at his 2012 splits. Or for that matter, his career splits.

Q: Why do you bat Gordon 1st? A: Because he gets on base Q: Why do you bat Lough 2nd? A: Because he gets on base Q: Why do you bat Hosmer 3rd? A: Because he gets on base You get on base we win, you don't we lose. |
Also, with Hosmer, when he was crushing his rookie season, it was against righties.

I'm not going to put much stock in a rookie season in terms of splits because too much is new for all involved. And Gordon hit lefties pretty damn well in '11, too.

So a weird trend I'm noticing, just clicking through Royal's player splits. Nearly every one of the Royals has a reverse split and is performing better against same-handed pitching. No wonder our offense is struggling. This must be a systematic development problem.

I've long advocated for Butler to hit second, and I still think this would be a good option. |
