Description: Dee Gordon is hitting .415 with five walks and just three strikeouts this spring, while swiping eight bases. | Insight: We know Gordon is going to run, run and run some more this season, but we also know that you can't steal first.

If that carries over to the regular season, Gordon could steal 50-60 bases. | | |
