Beckham out 6-8 weeks with fractured hamate bone

Anybody else think it's stupid to have a 7 day DL for concussions only? If they're going to have the 7 day DL, teams should be able to use it for any injury. It can really put teams in a tight spot if they have a couple players nursing injuries that will be out for 5 or 6 games and opening up the 7 day DL would really help that.

That's a good point - I see no reason why the 7-day DL can't just be used universally. I guess it would negate the 14-day DL because teams would just keep putting players on the 7-day DL to give themselves more flexibility.

Beckham will have a built in excuse now if he comes back and struggles...

Well, we better bring him back next year, then. The reason he'll have a 70-something OPS+ and the worst OBP of any 2b in baseball THIS year will only be because of his wrist.

See, you say stuff like this, and then you get me rambling, and I want to save my mad ramblings for stuff that can be published.

 

So he's a picture of a duck in a tuxedo

There's nothing wrong with rambling here and then taking that content and expanding upon it for an article. 99.99% of our views are non-soxtalk.

Maybe that will loosen him up and he'll go to the plate like he has nothing to lose.

I'd think it'd be difficult to hit with that type of injury.

Keon Barnum had his right hamate bone removed earlier this year. Here was ptatc's analysis regarding that

Easy to recover from. Just need to let the bone heal so it doesn't injure the ulnar nerve as it goes through the tunnel of guyon of the the hook of the hamate (the part they remove) makes up one of the sides. About 1/3 of all MLB hitters have this done at one time or another.

50/50 chance this effectively ends his career with the Sox. He'd have to come back raking now, no time at all to struggle.

Yeah, and if Gillaspie or whomever his replacement is plays well in his absence then there simply may be no starting role for him when he comes back.

Many will peg this as a downgrade to our defense........but if we just look at 2B, what can we say about Kepp-for-Bacon? If I remember correctly, this offseason ..people were talking about Kepp being better at 2b than 3b(or saying 3b had a murky sample size)

 

I find CG intriguing as all hell. Maybe just a guy who..while being a little old...seems to have just never gotten enough of an opportunity to make his promise happen.

Keppinger's an alright 2B. Gordon's actually pretty damn good.
