Gameday Preview says Gordon's "likely" to start at 3rd today
I agree that Alex is likely to play, but does anyone feel that Hillman will coddle him in the upcoming weeks? I just have this suspicion that we'll see him missing some starts or something, like a Bloomquist at 2b and Callaspo at 3rd with Gordon on the bench versus lefties. I'll pull my hair out.
On the bright side, out of the group of players performing over their heads right now, Callaspo's not one of them, and his play doesn't seem likely to threaten Gordon for a spot at 3rd. I'd hope that's a moot point with Getz on the DL, but as long as Bloomy roams the mlb clubhouse, we'll have room for uncertainty.
That being said, what does everything think Alex is going to do in his next 5 games?

I Don't Care
If Gordon leaves steaming piles on home plate and the 3B bag for the next 5 games, he has to play if he’s healthy. Callaspo and Yu-Bet make a pretty gruesome defensive duo up the middle, and Luke will almost certainly suffer for this, but we should score more runs trading Getz for Gordon. Maybe when Yu-Bet’s offense comes down to earth we’ll see Aviles at SS, but the right side of the IF defense will still be bad with Callaspo and Butler.
BTW, apparently Trey thinks playing Bloomers at 3B with Callaspo at 2B is a better defensive alignment than the other way around. I find that curious if not outright stupid.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
