Player Profile #67: Alex Gordon | OF | KC
The Kansas City Royals are a team on the rise, and the emergence of Alex Gordon is a big part of that. The Royals won’t be going anywhere for a few years given the state of their starting rotation (Luke Hochevar is their ace), but their lineup is already one of the 10 best in baseball. Gordon will lose third base eligibility, which will hurt his fantasy value, but if he can...

Gordon looks to win, not 'dominate' in 2012
When Royals left fielder Alex Gordon said in September of 2010 that he intended to "dominate" in 2011, the comment, needless to say, took virtually everyone by surprise.
It wasn't a shocker simply because Gordon was hitting a woeful .233 at the time and was perilously close to being permanently labeled a draft bust.
Rather, what made the comment so stunning was that...
