2017 Marlins Season Review: Dee Gordon

2017 stats: 653 AB, .308 AVG, .341 OBP, 2 HR, 114 R, 33 RBI, 60 SB, 3.1 WAR (Baseball Reference)

The 2016 season was one to forget for Miami Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon after his suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. Gordon, 29, would post a .268/.312/.333 slash line in 248 plate appearances following the suspension, but he failed to play at a high level throughout the season.

Gordon had a tremendous bounce-back season in 2017, just missing an all-star appearance. He started the season by posting a .286 average at the plate during April, which was actually his worst month of the season.
