You ,did not tell us about your moonlight job.
Few players in recent memory arrived with more hype than Alex Gordon, and few have been as disappointing. Gordon was named BA's Minor League Player of the Year in 2006, following a ridiculous season in the Texas League (111 R, 29 HR, 101 RBI, 22 SB, .325/.427/.588). But after a solid-if-unspectacular rookie campaign (15 HR, 14 SB, .725 OPS), his development stalled, then shifted into reverse. Gordon was actually demoted to Triple-A for a 68-game maintenance stint last year — he was terrific at Omaha, naturally: 14 HR, 7 SB, 1.019 OPS — and he's been bumped to a corner outfield spot in KC. He retains his third base-eligibility in Yahoo! leagues, at least for one more year, so you can't completely dismiss him as a fantasy asset. He's also reportedly spent the off-season making major adjustments to his swing, under the guidance of Kevin Seitzer. Seems appropriate at this stage.
