Send him back to single A.

A poor first 22 at-bats? Now he'll never play in the majors again...

What a huge bust!

Send him back to single A? We'll he's never played in single A, but he really shouldn't be allowed to play organized baseball anymore.

This is dumb, what is the implication? That he sucks? Give the guy more than a week.

His only hit came against Dice-K. He will be very good, he just needs time.

Here are the starting pitchers he's seen in his six-game Major League career: Curt Schilling, Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Justin Verlander, Jeremy Bonderman, and A.J. Burnett. That's two World Series MVPs, this year's Rookie of the Year, last year's Rookie of he Year, a guy who struck out 202 batters last season, and a dude who throws 97 miles per hour and makes $11 million a year. Buddy Bell gave Gordon the day off when Kansas City faced the left-handed Mike Maroth. Thanks, skip. The Royals as a team are hitting .219/.295/.368. It's been a rather difficult stretch for all of them

Good points.

As a point of comparison, a HOF 3B once endured a streak where he went 3-for-34 with 14 Ks, 1 extra base hit, 2 errors, and twice whiffed with the bases loaded. That was Mike Schmidt in 1973, his first full season. I think he wound up being okay, even though Phillies fans still hate him for some reason.

I can't see anyone, barring injury, taking the ROTY from Gordon this year... the kid is just such a natural talent. I can see him getting over .300 later on this season..

Well he just hit his first HR.

Alex Gordon reads RealGM.

Lol, he was so happy when he finally hit his first homerun. Then all the guys in the dugout congratulating him and stuff.

There's some guy down in Tampa Bay...
What's his name? Delmon Young? Yeah, OK.

Hell, there's three guys in Tampa that all have a good chance of having a better rookie season than Gordon.

Hasn't Young lost his ROY eligibility?

No, the Rays stopped playing him at the tail end of last season just so he could maintain his rookie status.
