ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am officially done with Beckham. In his past 3 underperforming seasons, I have always given him the benefit of the doubt. Coming in to this season I said I would give him a year with Manto to see how he does. But still, not much improvement. Slight, but not much. I'm officially ready for an upgrade. I don't think he is a black hole, because his glove is very good, but if we can find an upgrade at 2B, I say we take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely believe they should put him on the market this offseason to see what other teams would be willing to give up for him. Don't trade him for prospects though, only MLB ready talent.

If he struggles out of the gate there is some chance that Carlos Sanchez could push him a bit, but I'm not sure how realistic that really is. Carlos could probably benefit from another year or more in the MiLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the thick of it, he is holding his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't trade him for prospects though, only MLB ready talent. Exactly. I'm not saying dump him and experiment with minor league options, but I am saying if we can get an upgrade, take it. The past few years, I was hopeful for a turn around, and didn't want to block him. But now, I think he's reached the end of his leash. Upgrade if you can, but don't abandon him at 2B if you can't get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His power numbers are above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
