Those wondering what's wrong with Gordo are either football fan converts who are following the sport more closely or have criminally short memories. Gordon is by far the streakiest player of the Royals, if he's not red hot out of the gate than he's ice cold. Let's look at some data.
2016 (through 12 games):
.233/.313/.279
2012 (through 12 games):
.149/.245/.234
2014 (through 12 games):
.250/.292/.409
2015 (through 12 games):
.214/.389/.250
In the years not listed (2011 & 2013) Gordon had red hot numbers that would have been MVP caliber had he maintained that stretch through the season. Gordon is rarely a constant in the line-up, he's either an MVP or he's Siberia. What remains consistent is his generational defense.
