- [MLB] From Tim Kurkjian of ESPN The Magazine-
Best young player to watch: Royals third baseman Alex Gordon. "Wow," says Rangers manager Buck Showalter. Gordon, the second player taken in the 2005 draft, won't make the team this spring, and eventually might be moved to first base or the outfield, but he won't be in the minor leagues very long. He was the strongest player in Royals' camp. He keeps to himself, and does what he's told -- a perfect attitude for a young player.
