Royals notebook: Gordon seeing results from short-and-quick hitting approach

Found August 06, 2009 on kansascity.com:

Two hits Tuesday. Three hits Wednesday. It all amounts to positive reinforcement for Royals third baseman Alex Gordon as he seeks to adjust his approach at the plate. Gordon now keeps both hands on the bat, which effectively shortens his swing and — the theory goes — enables him to be quicker to the ball.
