Princess Dye Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 How do we play this? At some point, if Beckham keeps hitting, the Sox are kind of stuck. In comments and lineups, it seems like there's this focus on protecting him in his rookie year. But if he's really up here to help the team, dont you have to go the full nine? Really have him where he can help. #2 slot or at the very least a little higher than freakin 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 You can't take Alexei out of 2 hole. He's hitting .301 with a .358 obp and 8 homers since batting 2nd. Eventually, I'd agree that Beckham is going to be moving up in the order but 2nd isn't the right spot at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 i agree move him up in the line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Keep him where he's at. Pods and Alexei have been a real nice 1 2 punch and I would hate to break that up. I like where Beckham is at, if anything maybe just move him above Getz. Of course, in a year or two I expect him to move up into the two spot but not this year, just seems too soon and he is still heating up with the bat.

jenksycat Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 So you want to move Alexei, in a spot where he finally started hitting. And then move Gordon, in a spot where he is hitting finally and also sparking the bottom of our order? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 After that HBP that Ramirez suffered, they might put Beckham in the 2 hole for a few days and put Nix in the 8 spot at SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did barley miss hitting him right in the neck which would have been bad news I imagine (caught all helmet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
