New Seattle star Gordon has skills for center

Dee Gordon has never played center field in his Major League career. Never played any outfield in his life, for that matter, other than about a dozen Dominican Winter League games four years ago. But Jerry Dipoto believes Gordon is perfectly suited to play center field for Seattle while Robinson Cano continues to man second base, which is why the GM engineered the surprising trade with the Marlins for the two-time National League All-Star second baseman on Thursday.
