The Sox have fumbled every first round pick since 2000 (the jury is still out on Sale).

 

That's bulls*** and you know it. You can argue that Beckham was rushed, mishandled whatever. But there was nothing wrong with that pick. Picking him was pretty much universally applauded. IIRC the only other real option was Smoak? I don't remember but there was nothing wrong with drafting Beckham where we did

the talented teams in our division in terms of things like talent, scouting... seem to have really figured out how to approach our hitters

 

its up to our team to adjust to the twins and tigers but we have failed to do so for almost two consecutive years

Players drafted after Beckham: Smoak, Wallace, Weeks, Lawrie, Ike Davis.

 

All are better prospects than Beckham, who's talent was greatly exaggerated.

It's a wee bit premature to be giving up on Mitchell as well.

 

With how some gave up on Viciedo after 2009...you would think there would be some patience...especially with the "rushing" of Beckham and Sale now being consistently raised as an issue in a bit of 20/20 hindsight revisionism.

 

Nobody was complaining about Beckham being rushed in 2009 or Sale last year in August. In fact, many thought Ozzie and KW were too hesitant to bring up Beckham.

This is unfair and you know it.

And I'm sure you were all over them saying that back in July of 2009 too.

No- GB is a very good prospect. Rushed to the bigs a bit to fast maybe. Still learning and watching this at the major league level is indeed frustrating
