Look at it this way. He's mid 30's now, takes immaculate care of himself and still tore a groin.
This franchise committed to Gordon and never gave up on him. Even though most of the fans (myself included) called him a bust a long time ago.
The franchise committed to Alex Gordon by trading for Johnny Cueto, giving Alex Gordon ( and the rest of the team) a better chance to succeed in post season. The franchise committed to Alex Gordon by acquiring Ben Zobrist, giving Alex Gordon a better chance to succeed in post season.
