***Official GDT Thread - Royals vs A's 4/17*** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=299398)

Btw, I'm still all for moving Soria out of the 8th inning role to the 6th inning......

If you're wondering what's wrong with Gordo you're either football fan convert or have a criminally short memory. Gordon is by far the streakiest player of the Royals, if he's not red hot out of the gate than he's ice cold. Let's look at some data.

2016 (through 12 games):
.233/.313/.279

2012 (through 12 games):
.149/.245/.234

2014 (through 12 games):
.250/.292/.409

2015 (through 12 games):
.214/.389/.250

In the years not listed (2011 & 2013) Gordon had red hot numbers that would have been MVP caliber had he maintained that stretch through the season. Gordon is rarely a constant in the line-up, he's either an MVP or he's Siberia. What remains consistent is his generational defense.
