Dee Gordon is one of the more controversial players on the Miami Marlins roster. Obviously, the steroid case comes to mind when his name is mentioned, but even before that story broke the fan base was split on his utility. More traditional fans love his speed and BABIP skills, while those more sabermetrically-minded take issue with his low on base percentage, and high caught stealing rate. I fall very definitively in the latter camp, but he’s on the team and that isn’t changing, so it’s time to get over it and try to find the optimal spot in the batting order to maximize his value as a hitter.
Where in the order should Dee Gordon hit?
