Remember the old SportsCenter advertisements with Albert Pujols, where they accused him of being a machine instead of a human? In the end, the anchors leave Pujols alone, but right before the commercial ends, the copy machine asks the Angels slugger why he did not tell them the truth. Well, that baseball machine may have some company with the KC Royals Alex Gordon.
Gordon, currently on the disabled list with a strained groin, was expected to be out of the Royals lineup until the beginning of September. Instead, just two and a half weeks later, Gordon is starting to get ready for his return to the Royals lineup.
