| Dee Gordon lectured after botched steal attempt |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/19/13) Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon was thrown out in the third inning Saturday against the Braves tying to steal third base with two outs and Matt Kemp at the plate. Not only did manager Don Mattingly and baserunning coach Davey Lopes chime in, but Gordon's father -- former All-Star closer Tom Gordon -- talked with Dee about his baserunning error, according to MLB.com.
"Don't steal third," Dee Gordon repeated, "unless you know you'll be safe. I felt it was 100 percent, but I got thrown out."
Mattingly was still annoyed Sunday morning.
"The first year he was here, you want to be patient with him and you're always teaching, but yesterday, we've been there before, and I told him when he got to the dugout that you can't run there unless you're 100 percent," Mattingly said. "There's no real upside to stealing the base. Only an infield hit or a passed ball. It doesn't make any sense to me. It's just a mistake you really can't make. I don't want to come down on Dee. He's trying. But it's just not the right time to steal a base. It's a useless base."

| Dodgers' Dee Gordon now batting ... ninth? |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/13/13) Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he could take a page out of former skipper Tony La Russa's playbook and use shortstop Dee Gordon as the No. 9 hitter once Mark Ellis returns from the disabled list, the Los Angeles Daily News reports. Gordon has spent the past two games in the two-spot, which is Ellis' usual position with Carl Crawford at leadoff.
Mattingly said the move would be spearheaded by his preference to alternate between left-handed and right-handed batters at the top of the lineup. Gordon recorded his fourth steal in eight games Sunday against the Marlins.

| Dee Gordon rising in Dodgers' lineup |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/12/13) Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon blasted his first home run of the season -- and just the second of his brief career -- during Los Angeles' 7-1 rout of Miami on Saturday night. Playing in his seventh game since being promoted from Triple-A, Gordon went 1 for 4 with a walk as he assumed the No. 2 spot in the batting order for the second time in the past four outings.

| Dee Gordon makes presence felt |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/5/13) Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon went 2 for 4 with a triple and two RBI during Los Angeles' 10-9 loss to San Francisco on Saturday night. Gordon, who earned the start at short in his season debut with the Dodgers, also scored twice and recorded two stolen bases.
The 25-year-old speedster also showcased his maturation at the plate as he prepares for the majority of starts at short with Hanley Ramirez sidelined. Gordon drew a four-pitch walk in the fourth inning, highlighting his improved plate discipline that had been an issue for him last year. He drew just 20 walks in 87 games with Los Angeles last season, but had walked 14 times in 25 games with Triple-A Albuquerque this year.
"He has shown progression from the standpoint of the takes and when he takes you can tell he's starting to understand who he is and what he needs to do and obviously when he gets on base he's just a force," manager Don Mattingly told the Los Angeles Daily News. "You can do so many things with him and he puts the defense at such a disadvantage. I don't want to go too far in one game, but he's getting better."

| Dee Gordon's time again |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (5/4/13) With how much he struggled last season, it's easy to forget how highly regarded Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon was just last season. He was one of the top-50 prospects in baseball back-to-back years, but he has yet to translate that to major-league success. He is getting another chance to make an impact with Hanley Ramirez back on the disabled list Saturday.
With Justin Sellers falling on his face in Ramirez's place early, it looks like Gordon could get a chance at regular at-bats and starts at shortstop. He batted .228 last season but had 32 steals in 87 games. Gordon seemed to figure things out in his month at Triple-A Albuquerque, posting a .314 batting average with nearly as many walks (14) as strikeouts (17).
If Gordon can get on base, his speed is a real asset and could present Fantasy owners with value off the waiver wire. His considerable talent makes him worth a look in NL-only Fantasy formats, at the least.

| Turns out Dee Gordon's .352 batting average in September 2011 wasn't a sign of things to come. The free-swinging sophomore speedster was nowhere near as adept with the bat in 2012, instead piling up outs at the top of the lineup. No wonder the Dodgers were so happy to use Hanley Ramirez at shortstop when they acquired him from the Marlins in late July. Of course, when that trade went down, Gordon was on the DL with a torn ligament in his thumb, but the fact the Dodgers didn't return him to the lineup when he returned from the DL in mid-September is telling, as is the fact that they've been shopping him this offseason. Clearly, they have reason to wonder if Gordon has stalled in his development. Nobody questions his speed, of course. He somehow managed to steal 32 bases even though he played in only 87 games and reached base at a pathetic .280 clip. But as the saying goes, he can't steal first base. He did compile a .302 batting average during his minor-league career, which offers some reason for hope, but you'd think he'd have a more advanced approach at the plate by age 24. If Gordon lands a starting gig, his upside is high enough that he'll be draftable in all Fantasy formats, but as a reserve, he's just a steals specialist for Rotisserie leagues. (Updated 12/4/12) |
