Bob Dutton overheard a group of scouts talking about Alex Gordon of the Royals yesterday:

The talk is rarely low decibel, therefore easily overheard, and today?s round-table topic is Alex Gordon. Five guys in the group, three talking.
?He?s already the best player in this camp.?
?Heck of a pretty swing.?
?I hear they?re going to move him (to another position). I wouldn?t move him. He?s better at third than (Mark) Teahen.?
?And he?s better at first than anyone they have, too.?

It sounds like the high draft choice won’t be in the minors much longer.
