it would have to be Gordon right now. Gordon is the starting SS, while playing time seems to be hard to get for Bourgeois. 3 games back from the DL, no start yet.
I'm hoping Gordon can be the full time SS AND lead off hitter.
Dee Gordon is the son of former major league pitcher Tom Gordon. Tom the pitcher had the nickname "Flash". Tom should pass along the nickname to his son, who is more of a flash himself.
I don't expect him to do too much, but he should be adequate replacement for Furcal. Some runs and steals with decent BA. He's seriously got some mad speed. Probably at the Reyes/McCutcheon level.

Gordon, who has earned the nickname "Mr. Excitement" for his play in the minors...from cbs
hopefully they find him some smaller pants tomorrow.they said the bat boys were too big he looks like a point guard on a jr high team

Bourgeois isn't going to get solid playing time. He's going to be used as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner, late inning defensive replacement. So he could win the starting job but at this point Gordon is a much better bet for numbers simply based upon PT and he'll be leading off which never hurts.
this guy has been great so far! what happens when Furcal comes back? can the Dodgers go back to Furcal as the regular SS? as a Dee owner if the Dodgers plan on reinserting Furcal back at SS costing Brown playing time then I'd like to trade him now while he is hot.

Trade him.
The key word is right now. He has a .417 BAPIP and has hit one extra base hit.
