The writing was on the wall since Chris Getz was activated from the disabled list and Kansas City shifted Alberto Callaspo to third base, a move that relegated Gordon to the bench. At least give credit to the Royals for having the guts to send down Gordon to find his swing in Triple-A instead of stubbornly keeping him on the bench to atrophy. The second overall in the 2005 amateur draft has been a huge disappointment, batting .194 with one home run and one RBI in 38 plate appearances. He's a .249/.331/.413 career hitter over four seasons.

From Rany's latest update on 4/29:
- Greg Schaum is reporting that the Royals are putting John Parrish on the DL and calling up Victor Marte. Let me be the first to say: Marte is not the answer. If he goes back down in a couple of days when Chris Getz returns, this is no big deal. But if the Royals send down Alex Gordon instead…well, they are the Royals. They have a reputation to live up to.
