whitesoxbrian Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (heirdog @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) I'm telling you, Kenny already got his SS of the future in Ramirez and he know's it. We will take Smoak...unless we are very intrigued by Crow. Looks like our middle-infield of the future is Ramirez at 2B and Beckham at SS, or vice versa. Singleton says Beckham at 2B and Lexi at SS. Take it for what it's worth... Smoak to the Nats or the 'Stros? Edited June 5, 2008 by whitesoxbrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 barf. if this guy can't play major league SS, it's a waste of a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 im just afraid of a guy who was a one year wonder.... btw that pick came from laumann then, he was watching georgia for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What a buzzkill...especially with Smoak on the board. Yipeeee for smallball...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoak to the Nats or the 'Stros? That's too bad. I guess Beckham's tools were too much to pass on. And they probably like Swish at 1B any way. Oh well, I guess, Smoak can go rot in the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'll just say this -- Smoak better not turn out to be a superior selection to Beckham. What worries me is we're looking at this as more as a player who advances quickly then someone who ultimately turns out to be a superstar.

R.J. Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Figures we'd take the grindiest guy on the board. I think you're going to regret not taking Smoak here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFirebird Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Beckham will probably end up playing 2nd base. I think it is who the Sox targeted all along and he just fell to them. Guy from BA really liked the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to become a very good 2B, I don't think you could call that a waste. Yeah, SS is the sexy, premier position, but very good offensive 2B aren't easy to come by. You think Chase Utley was a waste of a pick b/c he ended up at 2nd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Solid pick, I like it. This looks a lot better than some of the alternatives. The only other one that I think was a good choice was Smoak. I would have been happy with either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Even if Beckham ends up at 2B, it's still not that bad of a scenario. He projects to be a mix b/w Khalil Greene and Michael Young offensively (Greene would be a .260 20HR hitter away from PETCO FWIW), and that's pretty good production from either a 2B or a SS. I guess with O-Cab unlikely to stay, and Uribe not a long - term option, the Sox needed somebody they could count on from 2010 onwards to be a part of that middle infield.

Cowch Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 idk anything about this guy. Someone wanna give me a rundown? And maybe a rundown of Smoak and Crow too. Try not to be biased. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I hope we don't look back on the draft in the coming years and regret not taking Smoak or Crow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyLawRules Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) Beckham will probably end up playing 2nd base. I think it is who the Sox targeted all along and he just fell to them. Guy from BA really liked the pick. Although I don't put much in what the talking heads say, when Longoria and Jeter are mentioned when comparing Beckham, you have to feel optimistic. Callis said it was a great pick so we shall see.
