Dee Gordon's attempts to make difficult plays led to the throwing errors, but the Mariners don't want to change how he plays in the field.
Dee Gordon’s ability to do the spectacular at second base is one of several reasons why the Mariners are looking at using Robinson Cano at first base when he comes off his 80-game suspension on Aug. 14.
Since Cano is ineligible for the postseason, keeping Gordon at second base — a position where he won a Gold Glove with Marlins — is a logical choice. But Gordon’s range and athleticism are glaring in comparison to Cano.
