June 16, 201511 yr Author Gordon LEADS MLB in HITS and @Das Texan thinks he shouldn't even be a reserve.
June 16, 201511 yr I mean Joe Panik is going to pass Gordon in WAR in a week or so at this rate. I still cant believe Gordon hasnt been an abject failure, though the .414 BABIP cant last forever. Still, bravo to him for not being trash. I was wrong there!
June 16, 201511 yr Author I was down on Gordon when they acquired him as much as anyone. However, he's coming back down to earth now. He's put up a .260/.278/.285/.562 line since May 16. He's overall line is probably going to sink further over the next several weeks, but as of right now he's statistically the best NL second baseman.
June 16, 201511 yr To be fair, that's not correct either. Jason Kipnis has been better. In the NL though, Dee has been the best. He deserves to start at this point. People aren't taking his stolen bases/baserunning into account where he's been much better than Panik and Wong, and WAR takes that into account.
June 16, 201511 yr WAR takes into account whatever the person formulating it wants to take into account. It's an useless stat. And no, Kipnis has not been better. what? true though. gordon has more steals than kipinis. so he has been better.
