High Ks keep him from elite status, but with good health he should once again be a solid roto building block. Im further assuming that he will be a pure rabbit. He made the postseason roster. No shifts will get him over .200 with ease, although .215 still sucks. Easier said than done, of course, but his defensive versatility pretty much guarantees 400 PAs. With an average or better hit tool, he should avoid the all-or-nothing power profile of teammate Bobby Dalbec. True, Gonzlez made little of those PAs, but he could rather easily platoon all year. What he lacks in swing-and-miss dominance, he makes up for with a heavy groundball lean (>50% across AA/AAA/MLB last year). And yet he didnt run much last year, extra odd because the Rangers were the runningest team in baseball. Gordon can yet be a star, all he needs to do is lay off one bad pitch per game. Theyve given him a couple of extended looks but 33.5% Ks will not get it done.
