Dee Gordon
"He's adjusted. He's learned to make contact. I think he's cut down his swing a little bit and is relying on his speed. Plus, he's showing really good actions at shortstop."
"Dee Gordon has an 80 arm."
"Is he ready? Well, we'll see. But there isn't a choice."
"Gordon is one of those guys that's either going to be either really great or really bad. He's got exciting tools. Great arm. Phenomenal range. Acrobatic. Can fly. Learning to bunt. If he can get on base, he's the real deal. The biggest question is, he's awfully thin; is he going to hold up over the long haul? The strength factor, is he going to hit enough to warrant playing every day? And he makes a lot of young-guy mistakes. I really think he's going to be an exciting player who can steal 50, 60 bases, if he gets on base enough."
"I'm not as high on Flash Gordon's son. I can't warm up to him. He's very frail. People are talking about him as an All-Star. When I saw him last year, they were knocking the bat out of his hands. I just don't see it. He hit .372 in September. There's three times you make mistakes evaluating players -- spring training, September callups and winter ball."
