Why no love for Joe Gordon?

[Hack Wilson]

I see Flash Gordon on the FA wire all the time now. He used to be highly popular in ATGI. What happened? :shock:

[Valen]

Several good second baseman with good OBP who cannot get injured were added. To get the most out of Gordon you need to be in a high # park. But from what I read on boards and see in leagues more people are going for pitcher parks in ATG2 which minimizes Gordon's potential.

[PJ Axelsson]

His price went up a touch, too.
From 5.01 to 6.16. With the new pricing, his bargain home run value went down.

His good defensive stats just don't justify the expense unless you're playing in a hitters park and a league of hitters parks. U can get better 2B defense cheaper and can just about spend the money u save to get the same or better BA and OBP elsewhere. If u get fewer than 15 HRs and 75 RBIs out of your 2B, u are in the same boat as almost every other team in your league. I've also found Gordon doesn't hit righties very well in many situations.

I've used him a couple of times with good numbers. One of the rare second baseman with decent fielding (a 1 range) good power and good speed. Of course he does do better in a hitter;s park and is a bit expensive, but when the other handful of really good second baseman are gone, i find him a nice option.

Gehringer, McDougald and Fox were added. They are all better and all cheaper.
