Does this guy have an everyday job when he returns at the end of the month? I've read some news that he could possibly be a bench player?
I'd like to stash him for the last month for steals.

Luis Cruz, and Hanley too, seem capable at SS. I'm thinking he'll play some but not start every day...

My understanding is Hanley flips back to 3rd, so its all about Cruz. Who is the everyday player? Gordon or Cruz?

For what it's worth... I can see Gordon sitting some against lefty starters. He's hitting .172 against them this season and .214 against them over the course of his young career. However, he is still one of their better options because of his speed. Do you set your lineup daily? I could see him as a useful reserve/matchup guy you can play a couple of days a week to grab a few cheap steals (hopefully). Conversely, he could hurt you in a weekly league because he's going to struggle to produce in other categories... at least for this year.

Yeah, it is a weekly league. But you raise a good point on Lefties. Could then play match ups based on that. I am not to concerned over what he does not bring, I need steals!
