Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) I wish the AS break started today. No need to play Minnie four straight starting tomorrow. Now if we'd call up Viciedo and DeAza and fire Walker all today, I'd be all for playing Minnie. We could call up Trout and Harper and I still wouldn't feel good about playing Minny.

greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Here's a serious question. Would you take KC's lineup 1-9 over ours starting tomorrow? And take their relief corps over ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Beckham turned out to be a major bust. Still want to give him a season with a new hitting coach and different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Good pitching will make your offense look stagnant. Going for striking out the side on 9 consecutive pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Beckham turned out to be a major bust. So Beckham is good field no hit. Not a good combination for a second basemen. Those guys can be found anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus kinski Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Actually, Ohman has been pretty effective lately. He may be a valuable trade piece right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) How many shortstops that are close to the top defensively are also averaging 15 homers and 60+ RBI's per season? This is not 2008. Offense has fallen off by 20-25% since then. That's the equivalent of 20 and 75, normally Juan Uribe's numbers. Again mr. Gammons what is defense? Fancy plays in the hole? How many games/runs had he cost us with bonehead plays? A lot more than he's saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yes, I think we can say Beckham for all the hoopla and acclaim the Media gave him, BUST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Shoulda done that your last at bat, Brent. You actually got a hit against a good pitcher and failed miserably against a worse pitcher with bags juiced in the sixth.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Beckham is a bust by the standards he was supposed to live up to. I don't know if it had to do with him switching positions, or what, but he's definitely a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Beckham is not a bust yet. If Beckham is a bust, then Crede is a bust. They have nearly identical stats through the same number of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
