whats up with gordon?

[dodgers6]

I dont see any more topics on him, before the season everybody was in rush to get him... is he facing good pitchers? taking wild swings? still adjusting to the majors?

[davidmarver]

He sucks at the major league level. He needs more time in the minors. That's really all there is to it.

[AcidRock23]

It sure looks that way...ugh...

First and foremost, we're a week into the season. He's seen one weeks worth of major league pitching. To add to that, he's seen Schilling, Beckett, DiceK, Verlander, Bonderman, and AJ Burnett. He's a rookie facing some really solid MLB pitchers. 1 week.

dropped him for A. Iwamura.....to back up mcab.



2nd coming of Berkman-Pujols my @$$......






















now watch him hit 4 HRs tomorrow.......

As Pujols, Oritz, and Howard have all shown us. Week One means nothing.

Indeed.

thanks for the partial info.. I was just mesmorized how quite the cafe has been and was curious what was the story by hing Gordon

[Amazing Oopah]

yeah, too bad he's part of the Royals, he won't get a chance to face their pitiful pitching staff

The Cafe is full of extremely smart people.

That said, every single year I've seen certain players get hyped way out of proportion to their actual value. Right now I'm sure there are tons of teams this year that took Alex Gordon and Ryan Shealy far too early.
