Seems like a guy who could be a fan favorite. And, why is the Twins draft pick at the draft? Is he the only draftee there?

RME JICO Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (heirdog @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) Good point. But in the top 10, you have to try and get the star. I guess I'm just not as high on Beckham as I was on Smoak but I'll get around to it. That is true, but you have to take everything into account. The draft is too much of a crapshoot anyway. A solid SS/2B has more value than a 1B unless the guy is far superior in terms of overall numbers. Looking at it that way, you have to go with defense: Beckham .969 OPS, 13 HRs, 33 XBHs, in 228 ABs Smoak 1.065 OPS, 22 HRs, 38 XBHs, in 260 ABs Not much of a difference with both playing in the same conference.

Seems like a guy who could be a fan favorite. Another thing: How is it possible for a person to have such a bigger lower-half of his body than upper-half? i.e. Wallace I'd guess he neglects the lower half of his body in workouts. He really is a disgusting fat body. Couldn't even run straight in the videos featured on ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) I'm not saying I hate Beckham or won't cheer for him if he plays for the Barons, I just thought that Smoak would have brought more to the system than Beckham.

That's good to see. I think sometimes we forget about player smarts, which I think have a big effect on players' success. Seems like a pretty quick guy.
