Royals Alex Gordon... - Page 8

Every time I look at the box he is hitless or at most has 1 hit. When are they going to sit him or even send him down until he can learn how to hit MLB pitching?

I think they under utilize gordon on the base paths, he could probably steal 20.

Its a funny thing the draft. The Royals didnt really do anything wrong. Gordon was a consensus top guy. Nearly everyone had him pegged as a potential superstar.

Unfortunately, we all know the draft is a crapshoot in any sport.

He has to get on the base path before we can start the 20+ talk. He was not ever a singles hitter and can't walk to save his ass. He needs to concentrate on power numbers and making contact when others are on base.

Gordon needs to get the avg up first imo as well...

he is so far on pace for 22 hrs and 80+ rbis, a little bit of an improvement. I would feel better if his avg was much higher and less k's

He has plenty of walks. It's the only thing saving his season right now. He has 1 less than Mourneau and 3 less than Holliday. The K's are a problem though, as is his lack of power.
