    c'mon now. AGon is probably the only real leader we have in there and his voice doesn't really carry either. Kersh is still too young.

    i think Kemp wants to be a leader..he has his guy's back and things like that as far as the whole Greinke/Quentin dustup last year, but he's not a natural leader either.

    Because his conscious wouldn't allow him to steal bases anymore.

    Not a hater and I didn't show up. I'm a realist and I said early on that Dee would revert to form. I also said I was glad he was doing well but that I wouldn't anoint him crown prince of second base, or something to that effect.

    This thread is more about Dee showing up his third base coach which no matter who you are, you're not supposed to do.

    This thread is about Dee growing muscles as a result of hormonal changes in body due to the increased competitive aggressiveness of big game ball and how it will sometimes manifest itself in the challenging of authority.
    It's part of his growing process and It shouldn't be a problem.

    we'd all suffer Dee just fine if he leveled out somewhere north of .280

    "IF" he could pull that off you know he's good for 40+SB's so his other 'playing' issues would balance out.

    I agreed with others earlier that he had to settle down and get good ABs. And like Rube said, he's young, he'll be fine. Let him grow into his frame.



    Mouthing off to a coach is insubordination.

    Plain and simple.

    For that you sit.

    Until I say otherwise, but it would entail the remainder of that game and at least one more.


    Being a "Players Manager" is what caused this horseshit in the first place

    I agree to a point, but he's fucking 26 years old, time to own your fucking mistakes.

    34 of 37 in stolen bases. Bringing back the 80's and 90's when stolen bases were a huge part of the game.

    Gordon's work ethic earns big praise from Lopes
    MLB.com -- 4 hours ago

    [​IMG]

    LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers coach Davey Lopes, a leadoff catalyst and second baseman with few peers in his day, had a heart-to-heart this spring with Dee Gordon, whose desire was to handle those roles for the 2014 Dodgers after several up-and-down seasons as a shortstop.

    "He knew there was an opening [at second]," Lopes said."I told him this is your opportunity. Close the door. Here it is. I gave it to him straight. 'You want that job? Take it. Make them like you.'

    "I was really surprised how quickly he picked it up [at second]. He constantly works at his craft. Turning the double play from the blind side at second, your back to the runner, is completely different from at shortstop. He constantly goes out there and does his work. He's a gym rat -- and he has the instincts. He always wanted to be a shortstop, but he's done a terrific job at second. I can't say enough good things about Dee."

    Gordon's astonishing ability to steal bases is a product of blinding speed and the same work ethic he has applied to his glove work at second base.

    Gordon, through Saturday, leads the Majors with 34 steals, having been caught only three times for a success rate of 91.9. Rickey Henderson was successful on 75.6 percent of his 172 attempts when he set the record with 130 steals in 1982.

    "Dee's always had the speed, but he's reading pitchers a lot better now," Lopes said. "He has tremendous confidence. He can steal on a guy with a quick move to the plate, and it better be a good throw from the catcher. We constantly work on when to go and when not to go.

    "There's no telling what numbers he can put up. As long as he stays healthy and gets on base, anything is possible."

    No Major League player has stolen 100 bases since Vince Coleman's 109 in 1987.

    "I'd never say never, as far as Dee is concerned," Lopes said. "That's a big number, but he's a special talent."
