Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) Thing with Beckham is that I'd be stunned if there's not a GM out there who loved him as a prospect and think they can get the best out of him. To be honest, I wonder if a change of scenery would do him good. He's made improvements from Walker, but not big enough improvements. Very heady player but mentally he is awful at the plate. I don't get it cause he made everything look so easy. Ahh crap, dink and dunk Twins ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Beckham is still a good player and we should keep him. Defensively he is one of the best. The bat will come. Trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Morel's hitless so far, and you'd be losing a ton of range at 2nd. If the choice is Beckham or Morel at 2nd, give me Beckham. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton hung a breaking ball...lucky Mauer didn't rip it into the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 5 double plays tonight, very un-Twinslike. We've been pretty lucky that the game wasn't close to tied with all the walks and DP balls going our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to make a move, it would be to upgrade 2B. Not sure who is out there. Aaron Hill would be nice. Or Jason Kubel. Red Sox sure cooled off quickly.

To get out of that innning should be the cure for him When he holds a 1-2-3 run lead or tie game 3 times in a row, then maybe he will be back. He needs to do it against teams like the Red Sox, Tigers, Rangers and Angels, not the Twins without Morneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 No way Beckham is on the 2013 White Sox. Either a trade or non-tender in the offseason. He just does not have the mental capacity to play baseball in Chicago. Maybe elsewhere but it's never gonna happen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the AL, you can't have a 650 OPS when there are guys like CANO and most 2B are in the 725-800 OPS range. That's just giving away too much offense.

caulfield12 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Would prefer to see Myers here. But oh well, Crain needs to pitch, too. Just to prove he can stay healthy, if nothing else. That's why that gift run when Alexei and Gordon weren't paying attention hurts...it would be nice to win a game without a nail-biter.

SoxFan1 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I find it funny that people point to Beckham's mental fortitude as reasoning for his struggles. He's one of the loosest guys in the clubhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the loosest guys in the clubhouse. The reports have always been that he over-analyzes everything involving his swing, approach, results, etc. I still would be surprised if we did get rid of him this offseason.
