I’m going to start off by saying Alex Gordon is a great player, and has been a great player for the KC Royals for a number of years. However, the .220 batting average from last year has carried into 2017, and that is not what the KC Royals need for an already struggling offense. Ned Yost has made it clear that he doesn’t like to change his lineup often, but the KC Royals simply can’t be a winning team with a leadoff man hitting below the Mendoza line. Alex Gordon is currently hitting .196 with zero home runs and four RBI’s through the first fourteen games which aren’t ideal stats for the man at the top of your lineup.
