Royals manager Ned Yost indicated on Saturday that Alex Gordon will return to hitting leadoff for the 2013 season.
Gordon spent the final month and a half of the 2012 campaign hitting in the third spot in the lineup after Eric Hosmer was dropped in the order. Kansas City's order in 2013 will go Gordon, Alcides Escobar, Hosmer, Billy Butler, Salvador Perez, Mike Moustakas, Jeff Francoeur, Lorenzo Cain and Chris Getz (or Johnny Giavotella).
