WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 First of all, this isn't some overreaction from tonight's game, I've wanted Beckham to be in AAA for a couple of weeks now. He looks awful. He needs to get some confidence and he just isn't helping the team right now. Hell, I'm starting to think Lillibridge might be a better option at this point.

fathom Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Greg Walker is an absolutely terrible hitting coach for young players. Beckham and Quentin could easily be the next in line of guys who just busted big time on the Sox, along with Fields, Caruso, etc. Beckham worries me more than Quentin, as at least Quentin hits the ball hard occasionally.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Nope. No overreaction. I agree. We're 2 1/2 months into the season. And he's still performing at below replacement level. Getting Beckham turned around goes WAYYYYYY beyond this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Royals do seem to think you can't get enough OF's. Gordon plus Kila, just to make NSS happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense, especially with Jose Guillen in the last year of his deal. If Gordon turns it around at 3b, then you move Teahen to RF. I also want Alex Gordon and Gordon Beckham batting back-to-back to match the Dodgers with Casey Blake and Blake Dewitt.

Dewitt and Blake will out hit them. Gordon and Beckham will hit .220 between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackattack Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) It's really strange how every season, some one seems to underachieve in the hitting department. If an aspect of a business underachieves annually, changes are made. I don't understand how the White Sox continue to employ Greg Walker when the results continue to be poor. Carlos Quentin, Gordon Beckham, Josh Fields, etc. all came to the White Sox and played well immediately; however, after prolonged exposure to the team, they began to underachieve. How one whose job is to help the hitters achieve production has remained a staple on the coaching staff is beyond me.

A couple of years ago when Ozzie suggested Walker might have some responsibility along with the players and Ozzie himself for the Sox' poor offense, Walker went crying to JR and he's never been criticized again. If Cowley's recent report isn't BS, JR won't even let his GM travel with the club because Ozzie might not like it. It seems the Sox' problems start right at the top.

Kalapse Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's been over 200 PA since Beckham last homered. He has 8 extra-base hits in about 230 PA this season, through 230 PA last season he had 25 XBH (19 2B, 6 HR) and was hitting .308/.376/.493/.868.
