As a Los Angeles Dodgers fan and a baseball fan, you have to be excited about the potential of shortstop Dee Gordon. In last nights game against the San Diego Padres, he got on base 5 out of 6 times via 3 hits and two walks, doubled, stole 3 bases, and drove in AJ Ellis with the winning run in the 11th inning.
Good things happen when he is on base and the Dodgers haven't had this an exciting of a leadoff hitter in forever and he is still learning the game. He did not really start playing baseball until late in his high school career. He was a relatively high draft pick but it was all based on potential. It looks like the Dodgers scouts and brass made a good call on this one.
Andre Ethier has also gotten off to a hot start. 6 RBI's in 3 games and most of his at bats have produced screaming line drives. A 3-0 start is a good way to start the season and Aaron Harang goes for the sweep this afternoon.
