Alex Gordon's Career - 2007-2026

Anybody else play around with the Baseball Mogul games?  I know it has no bearing on reality, but it's fun to try to turn the Royals around.  

I was surprised because in previous versions of the game Gordon had a habit of turning into a a mediocre 3B while Butler had the HOF career.  This time, though, Alex put up some good numbers.  ROY, 14-time All Star, 5 MVP's.  Of course, if I'd been less sentimental and less interested in his total career he never would have seen playing time the last few seasons.

Holy crap
Those aren't just HOF numbers, those are legendary numbers. That would make him the best third baseman in the history of the game.

Those 7 world championships don't look too bad either.

I'll take 7 World Championships
714 homers? He's only 712 away. The countdown is on.

Love that game
I like Bad News Baseball much better, but it doesn't  keep stats or have a season like 1.000.  But it does have pink bunny umpires!

Alex Gordon at 5-9 and 150?
With that graphic I saw,he may look a little Greg Fitzsimmonsish(my favorite entertainer) but can play like George Brett! I hope I live that long to see a dynasty in KC with Alex,I'll be waiting...

i've got a paper due too
that's why I'm playing baseball games and screwing around on this site and facebook.

The other side of these numbers, of course, is that Gordon was making $15-20 mil per season in his prime.  It so happened that I had the cash to pay him that.  I'm not confident Glass would do the same.

Also
this would make the most prolific extra base hitter of all time. The most RBI in a career all time, and second all time in doubles.

Hell yeah I play those games
I've figured out the most surefire way to build a great team over time, yet I still keep starting more and more dynasties and wasting hours at a time. Is the 2007 version markedly different than 2006?

40 homers at age 41?
