And Brad Ausmus is the reason this isn't 4-4, so there's that.

I'm ashamed to be human.

If Terrance Gore ever makes it to the major leagues, it will be because of his legs. They can't be very long , as he only 5'7", but they must resemble the legs of Scooby-Doo when he's running away from a ghost - merely a blur. How fast is he? He's been timed as fast 3.7 seconds from home to first base. To score an 80 on the scouting scale, he would "only" have to be there in 3.9 seconds. From first to second base, he's been timed as fast 3.0 seconds. In short, his speed exceeds the scale; it's indefensible.
Yeah, we've heard this before. Can he steal bases?
In Terrance Gore's one year of college, in 49 games, he stole 51 bases in 54 attempts. In his first professional season he played 35 games and stole 17 bases in 17 attempts. In his second professional season he played 61 games and stole 36 bases in 38 attempts. Let these numbers sink in - 2 years, 145 games, 104 stolen bases, 5 times caught stealing. That's a pretty tidy 95.4% success rate, which tells us that he hasn't been stealing enough. Last season, Billy Hamilton caught everyone's eyes by stealing 155 bases in 132 games, but he was also caught 37 times (a laughable 80.7% success rate compared to Gore). What would happen if the Royals really let him go?
