The two years he missed are on average the best statistical years a player has, ages 29 and 30.
Of the 19 HOF second basemen Gordon has a better WAR than 9 of them, 10 if you count Bucky Harris and 11 if you consider Jeff Kent a future HOFer.
That puts him in the top 10 all time amongst HOF second baseman. That's not a puny career.
