Gordo goes out with a bang! Way to go, Alex! Your jersey eventually will be retired and you’ll be added to the Royals HOF. Glad you got to spend your whole career with only the Royals. Loved watching you play the OF and will never forget your Game 1 Home Run - one of the All Time Greatest Moments in Royals history.

Hard to say, given the weird mix of voting and defensive stats they use, but in 15, he did miss a couple months due to injury. He also missed over a month in 16 with a wrist injury.
I've wondered if that wrist injury helped jack up his hitting pretty much from then on. [Reply]

Yoenis Cespedes got the Gold Glove in LF in the American League in 2015 and ironically kicked the fly ball in the outfield that allowed Esky to to circle the bases in Game 1. [Reply]
