been a sox fan for a long, long, long, long, long time.

 

There has NEVER EVER been a player I dislike more than Dunn.

 

Three more years of that clown is more than I can imagine.

 

What more can he do to ruin this season?

 

I can think of plenty more that I have hated more than Dunn.

Kittle was bad in '84, Snyder in 91, but this takes the cake

I think I dislike Rios far more than Dunn

The batting statistics say that is impossible.

 

Factor in his salary and there's no way any Sox player has been a bigger downer for a team.

 

He's by far the worst everyday player in White Sox history.

I mean somebody who gets regular at bats.

Without Santos, PK and Buehrle, there is no season.

 

I would edit that to say, 'Without Santos, PK and Buehrle, there is no .500 record.' This team is .500 with them; .400 without them, easily the worst team in baseball w/out them.

Gordon Beckham you, sir, are a terrible at swinging a baseball bat.

The Sox should count on him as being their utility IFer next season after (hopefully) Vizquel is gone. He's still cheap and can play a pretty good defensive 2B, 3B and he can also play some SS. They should be able to pick up a decent starting second baseman.

I agree. You can always pick up a second baseman. If Beckham doesn't hit in April, make him the utility guy instead of Omar. He's really really good defensively.

Lillibridge already has that role, probably.

 

Beckham has to start and he has to hit next year. We can't afford to give up on him just yet, or this franchise is in even more serious trouble than it looks.

 

Hopefully a new hitting coach will help him break through.

 

He's 4-for his last 34 and hitting .234 now.

His OBP is .296. He's about as bad a hitting second baseman as there is. Has walked only 23 times and only five stolen bases. He does nothing well offensively. Crazy.

Lillibridge fills the role of backup at all three OF positions, 1B and emrgency at 2B SS & 3B. Next year he'll keep the same role he has this year. Beckham should take Omar's current role.

 

Let Rios, Beckham and Dunn fight to re-earn their starting roles next season. Rios can battle De Aza for CF with the other being the fourth OFer/DH/PH. It may look something like this:

 

1B Konerko

2B New Guy

3B Morel

SS Ramirez

LF Quentin

CF De Aza

RF Viciedo

C Pierzynski

DH Dunn/Quentin (if Rios wins starting job)

 

Bench:

Lillibridge

Beckham

Rios

Flowers

If he can earn more playing time by doing a good job off the bench next year, more power to him and even better for the Sox. But to pencil him in as the starting 2B after what he's shown so far would be a mistake. Get a decent second baseman to start next year and count on Beckham to take Omar's role. He'd be a nice guy to have on the bench backing up the three IF positions.

South Side is right. Where does Gordon B now rank of all second basemen offensively? He has to be right near the bottom.
