His blazing speed continued to be an asset in fantasy leagues even in a down year -- his 32 stolen bases were 13th-most in the majors despite his appearing in only 87 games -- but his free-swinging ways, coupled with his complete lack of power, led to awful numbers in terms of batting average (.228) and on-base percentage (.280). With Hanley Ramirez recovering from thumb surgery, Gordon might again get a full-time place to play in his absence, at least at the season's onset. Gordon might be a slightly better player than the one we saw last season - his batting average on balls in play was just .281 -- but to be clear, he's a one-category rotisserie option without a promise of at-bats. Grant this kid 120 games and he might swipe 50 bags, but it'll be difficult for him to maintain that large a role considering his weak bat.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Mar 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.3,"playerRater15DAY":-1.4,"positionRank":30}
