Kalapse Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Wow, I didn't think he'd ever play for Charlotte. I just assumed he'd jump right to the pros when his time came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Like it or not, Charlotte is a Sox affiliate and they need to find a way to turn it into a better environment. Hopefully Beck's is just the first of guys to go there who has a better history of winning and more talent. I don't expect him to be in Charlotte for long and my guess is by early June Beckham is playing in Chicago. They'll have him see some more breaking pitches and than bam, he'll be at the cell.

GreatScott82 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:52 PM) I think next weekend is the ETA ^^^^ I predict Beckham will make his MLB debut on June 5th @ home vs Detroit and never look back. . . I also predict Fields/Poreda will be used as a centerpiece to a deal to land a top of the rotation pitcher. Guys like Oswalt, Haren and Cain have been mentioned on this board. Its a great time to be a Sox fan! Lets pull off a sweep tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm going to make a prediction on his ML debut: June 23 vs LA Dodgers. That would give him 25 games at AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It will allow for him to play some games at 3B without benching Dayan Viciedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's speculation, but really there's no other good reason to move him to Charlotte. It's a team that it doesn't matter if he plays 2-3 games each at SS, 3B, and 2B every week. Now, if he plays exclusively at 3B, then Josh Fields better get cracking. Edited May 27, 2009 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) Are they actually moving him to 3B? Is that official, or just speculation? I don't know if it is official, but after watching Nix and Ramirez play defense last night and with their hitting coming around, Fields might be the weakest link. Third base may be the best place to get Beckham's bat in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
