Wednesday, January 26, 2005Scouting Report: Brian GordonBio:
Stats, last three seasons (complete):Name: Brian Ernest Gordon Birthday: August 16, 1979 (25 on Opening Day) Height: 6-0 Weight: 193 Bats: Left Throws: Right Position: OF Acquired: Min. league free agent Drafted: 1997, 7th round (233), ARI Roster: Minor League Contract: n/a Hitting:YEAR(L) G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO AVG OBP SLG OPS ----------|---|---|---|---|--|--|--|---|--|--|---|---|----|----|----|-- 2002(AA) 130 477 73 137 32 9 10 67 2 7 36 111 .287 .343 .455 798 2003(AAA) 124 449 58 119 20 7 13 70 1 3 33 93 .265 .314 .428 742 2004(AAA) 127 475 80 123 24 4 22 70 6 2 30 145 .259 .305 .465 770 Struckout in 28% of his plate appearances last season, which could be some kind of PCL record. Has no plate discipline to speak of, and has only gotten worse with each successive season. The only thing you can really say for Gordon is that he showed good power last season (albeit in a hitterÂ’s park in a hitterÂ’s league), though not nearly enough to overlook his substantial shortcomings.Defense/Baserunning: Good range for a corner outfielder. I'm told he has an above-average arm, but don't hold me to that. Can swipe the occasional bag, but doesn't look to run much.Outlook: Gordon was signed to be minor league roster filler at a thin position. That's all he is, and that's all he'll ever be. ETA: Never See the complete list of scouting reports here. |
