is MORE than warranted after multiple decades with ZERO home-grown offensive stars. Seager's a FINE ballplayer, but no threat to win the MVP, and he's EASILY the best offensive player we've developed (and deployed) since A-Rod, no?
That said, Gordon has already been with two different organizations, and has shifted positions previously in his career (as I repeat ad nauseum, I know...). There is a DEFINITE chance (20%?) that he fails to become an average MLB CF defensively, but that's about where I'd put it.
And at that level of 'risk,' it's a play I make every single time--ESPECIALLY when the 'backup' plan is to shift Robbie over to 1B and install Gordon as the everyday, GG-caliber 2B.
