He hasn't lived up to the hype yet, but it's too early to give up on him, and like every other prospect we probably rushed him a bit too much. I really wonder if it would've helped him, Butler, and Teahen to beat up on AAA pitching for a while. That's what Billy Beane would've done with all these guys.
The funny thing is, a couple years ago, if they had passed on Gordon, everybody in baseball would've had a cow and said "there goes Glass being cheap" because Gordon was the consensus best college player. It wasn't even up for debate. But that's the baseball draft for you. |

He will probally end the year at .285 and 20 to 23 homers. Thats not a bad season, I think the expectations of being the next George Brett and the other 3B's in his class have made people think he is some bust. He will be an All-Star third baseman before his career his over, his defense has been pretty good and just more patience at the plate and he will be a constient hitter.

Of course, Gordon would have switched to 1B, where I've heard that some scouts think he could be even better defensively than he is at third. |

Why do people care about batting average? It doesn't make any sense. The only time your batting average ever matters is when there is a guy on 1st and 3rd and there is two outs. Thats it. I could care less about batting average. Most important thing is on base percentage and on-base slugging percentage. There are some guys that bat .212 but they get on base, walk alot, and drive in runs. Even with that said, Gordon is mediocre in that category. But we shouldn't dwell on batting average. It's almost a useless statistic

Overall, though, you've just described an unusual situation. |
