Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com on Monday that Dee Gordon will likely begin the year at Triple-A Albuquerque. Hanley Ramirez is slotted to start at shortstop for Los Angeles this season. "If it gets to that situation, you don't do a guy a whole lot of good sitting and watching games when he needs the experience of just playing," Mattingly said of Gordon. "Young guys, you don't want them sitting on the bench. If that was the case, we'll do what's best for him and what's best for him in the long run."
