I was in favor of leaving Gordon at the top to start the season because I was hopeful the Royals could get decent production behind Butler in the 4-5 spots.
As the season has gone on and that has NOT happened, it became a little different. I didn't think Lorenzo Cain would be this productive at the plate.
I still don't like Escobar in the leadoff spot - OBP issues - long term, but now that the lineup has been shaken up, I think you roll with it for a little while and see what happens.
