posted this in random thought thread, didn't realize it was dead:
Remember when Alex Gordon came up and was being hailed as the new George Brett, next superstar, great Royal hope, etc... He was labeled a bust for years.
This was his 2008 line at third base, which I admittedly don't remember how good his D was - 16/59/.260/.351/.432
This was his line in left field in 2014 - 19/74/.266/.351/.432
If you ask any so called "expert" about Alex Gordon, they'd probably list him as a top 20 player in baseball. Early in the season, people were touting him as the MVP. in 2008 he was a bust.
I'm enjoying the playoffs don't get me wrong... but for fukk sake, gimmie some goddamn steroids!
