The thing about his professor asking him for an autograph was pretty funny... 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?

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.

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.

that's not how it works. you only have legs like that through pure genetics. you don't get your legs smaller by working them out all the time, in fact, his legs could be so big because he works them hard but it's not just laziness

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.

Like another slow footed base clogging power hitter? Yipeee!

He sure carries himself well.

Yeah he does (said in a southern accent, emphasizing the Yeah).

 

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.

Man does this guy have a lot of hair. Is there a forehead under there anywhere?

I have my hair about half his length and I can barely fit a baseball cap on my head. It must be hell for him to fit a Georgia cap on that dome.
