Gordon graces cover of baseball america



Former Southeastern baseball standout Dee Gordon recently found himself on the cover of Baseball America, and he is considered the Los Angeles Dodgers' No. 1 prospect according to that magazine.

Gordon, who is only 22 years old, was named the Midwest League's "Prospect of the Year" while also sharing the league's Most Valuable Player honor with teammate Kyle Russell.

The article on Gordon can be found in the December 14-January 10 issue.

Gordon is expected to be the starting shortstop this season for the Chattanooga Lookouts, the Dodgers' AA affiliate.

At Southeastern, Gordon was named the 2007 NCCAA II National All-Tournament's Most Valuable Player. In his only collegiate year, he batted .378 with 45 stolen bases, 61 runs, 71 hits, nine doubles, four triples, and 44 RBIs in just 59 games.

Gordon batted .301 with 96 runs, 17 doubles, 12 triples, and 73 stolen bases last season with the Great Lakes Loons.
