Gordon out of leadoff spot: Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon returned to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game at Arizona after being benched in the hopes of halting his recent offensive slump. Gordon was held out of the lineup the past three games, but served as a pinch-hitter on Sunday. Gordon is hitting just .200 this season and has recorded just three extra-base hits this month. He was removed from the leadoff spot and slotted eighth on Tuesday. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Gordon has spent nearly the entire season atop Los Angeles' batting order as 142 of his 145 at-bats have come from the leadoff spot. He struggled with consistency from the position and carried a lowly .244 on-base percentage, hardly a quality mark for the leadoff hitter. Gordon does possess blazing speed and swiped 12 bases in 17 chances this year. For now, though, he is considered a low-end Fantasy option in most formats. (Updated 05/22/2012).

05/14/2012 11:44 Reality Check: Hamilton's unprecedented heights
The art of selling high in Fantasy is nothing new, but is it a sound strategy? Our Scott White shoots holes in the practice but has one scenario where it might pay off in his latest Reality Check.
As a minor league prospect, Dee Gordon showed the potential to hit .300 with 50-plus steals as a big-leaguer. In his first year with the Dodgers, Gordon delivered on that promise right away, batting .304 with 24 stolen bases in just over one-third of a season. Gordon, the son of former major league closer Tom Gordon, is an extremely aggressive hitter and owners should not expect him to help with walks or on-base percentage. However, he has the speed and contact skills to consistently produce high batting averages, and in turn, help owners with steals and runs scored. That's a profile that will give Gordon more value in Rotisserie formats, but even in Head-to-Head, he is a decent late-round option in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 1/4/12)
