Dee Gordon, Miami Marlins
Gordon stole 30 bases in 79 games last season but now that Barry Bonds isn’t around giving the players PED’s and getting them suspended, he should be able to play a full season and steal you close to 75 bases.
The speedster will score also 85-plus runs, hit over .300 and, as mentioned, will be atop the stolen base leaders by season’s end.
However, he has never hit more than five homers in a season or drove in 50 runs — totals that could hurt you if you don’t have an elite source of home runs or RBIs at another position.
Basically: make sure you draft power at another position as his batting average, runs and stolen bases are the reason you draft him.
Gordon is in a good ballpark for his skill set and will bat at top of the lineup with the green light to steal as many bases as possible. His size and skill set he is a good pick in keeper and dynasty leagues and this year you will get him at a discounted price.
