Player Notes

December 15, 2006
GM Dayton Moore will not commit to saying that Alex Gordon will begin the 2007 season with the Royals, but the Kansas City Star is reporting that it would be a "stunning development" if Gordon were not the starting third baseman on opening day. "We're still not ready to say that Gordon is on our team," Moore said. "We want him to continue to force our hand." Gordon hit .324 with 28 homers and 99 RBI for Double-A Omaha in 2006. The Royals would need move Mark Teahen to a corner outfield spot to make room for Gordon.

September 5, 2006
Manager Buddy Bell said the Royals will not bring up hot prospect Alex Gordon from the minors to replace Mark Teahen, who will have season-ending shoulder surgery on Friday, according to the AP. Gordon, their No. 1 choice in the 2005 amateur draft, is considered the team's third baseman of the future.

September 4, 2006
Royals manager Buddy Bell said that the team may consider a position switch for Alex Gordon in the offseason because of the emergence of Mark Teahen, according to the AP. Bell said "The outfield is a possibility (for Gordon) but I don't want to speculate on who might go where because it's not something we've sat down and discussed in great detail yet. But there will be a decision to make."

August 24, 2006
General manager Dayton Moore said that the Royals will not call up Alex Gordon in September, according to the official team website. If the Royals were to promote him, they would have to add him to their 40-man roster, which would start the clock on Gordon's major league service time.
