MiddleCoastBias Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Fox question of the day was which team has gone the longest since their last no-hitter. My guess is either the Pirates or the Reds. Anyone else venture a guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) Are you seriously saying that you think Alexei is a better 2 hitter than Beckham? Long term I still want Beckham as a #3 hitter. Right now, I still like Alexei in the 2 hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beckham develops how fathom believes he will, he will be a stud, XBH, 25+ homer 3 hole hitter. If Beckham develops to how I believe he will, he will be a stud, gap to gap, disciplined, 2 hole hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Since his return I wonder which has been more effective, the current Q or the Wise/BA combo during his absence. They're probably very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he legitimately started hitting (excluding his first 30 AB's or so) Beckham has 11 doubles in 120 at bats. The guys currently leading the AL in Doubles, Roberts and Lind, have 32 doubles in 370+ at bats. Beckham has a higher doubles-rate than the guys leading the league in doubles and he's a rookie. These balls aren't going to be staying in the park his whole career. Edit: that's before his double today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beckham develops to how I believe he will, he will be a stud, gap to gap, disciplined, 2 hole hitter. As much as I love Beckham, I don't see him developing into a 25+ homer guy ever. It's possible, but I'd much rather have him hitting .300 with 20 HR and 80-100 RBI a year with a high OBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I don't expect Beckham to hit more than 20-25 homers in a year, but I think he can still be an effective #3 hitter if we try to go away from the long ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been comparing him offensively to Derek Jeter in his prime for a while now. Thats who I think of when I watch him hit. He is a guy thats going to piss off a lot of pitchers and opposing fans in our division. He will be the guy you don't want to face late in games. The type of hitter we have missed for a while here.
