Princess Dye Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) Keppinger's an alright 2B. Gordon's actually pretty damn good. Defensive runs saved by all AL 2B with at least 2000 innings, since 2009 Just one slice of the pie, but noteworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's no way Beckham isn't labeled a bust when it's all said and done. So much potential, so little output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) Keon Barnum had his right hamate bone removed earlier this year. Here was ptatc's analysis regarding that Beckham's sounds different. It's doesn't sound like it displaced like Barnum's. If it took this long to diagnose it was probably a hairline type fracture. They won't do surgery and are probably just going to cast or splint it. The standard healing time for a fracture is 6-8 weeks. He will need some time to make sure he has full range of motion then go to a rehab assignment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not saying much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great, but I truly believe he's gotten better in the past two years. If you look at the fan scouting reports, they had him very high last season at +10.

Cali Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 02:03 PM) 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. This was my very first thought too. Pretty much will wrap his career on the Sox up I think. This is a kid that struggles so much at the slightest thing. It will take a miracle for him to overcome this injury and not have it affect his swing or mental state in general. Makes the decision a lot easier in the off-season though for the Sox. If Kepp wasn't hitting like crap, it would make this so much easier, cause I really like Gillaspie and think he can hold down third with the glove and the stick.

flavum Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) Chances that Sanchez gets called up? Very low, in my opinion. I think Omogrosso comes up for the Cleveland series and possibly the first part of the Toronto series, and then they may switch things up.

The Ultimate Champion Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 04:34 PM) it might make sense to bring up an extra reliever. with no off days for awhile, you run the risk of burning out your bullpen. Plus, they have sanchez as backup IF. That's really the only option I think, a pitcher. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring up a starter though since Veal is struggling and the rotation has been hit, so that spells work for the lefty Santiago regardless. Whoever comes up should be able to go 3 IP IMO. Omogrosso probably has the leg up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 My guess is Morel. And this bums me out. I was hoping Gordo actually figured it out this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) I'd say no Sanchez. This is Gillaspie's big shot. I agree maybe, just maybe he can be what Morel was supposed to be, 280/340/420 with 12-15HR with solid defense. I for one say give him his chance, in 7 games down at AAA Sanchez hasn't done anything to force the sox hand and Conor is still relatively young, sox might have something here.

greg775 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Time to trade Thornton to the Royals for Johnny Giavotella (sp). That's the trade we want. Throw in some money if we need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think this is Gillaspie's big shot here. He's looked pretty good so far. If he gets the majority of the time when Beckham's out and continues to hit well, a tough decision will have to be made when Beckham comes back.

If he gets the majority of the time when Beckham's out and continues to hit well, a tough decision will have to be made when Beckham comes back. I bet when they traded for him, they may have had this move in mind, with Keppinger able to play 2nd, while Gillaspie playing 3rd. Obviously, they were thinking Beckham might struggle, not get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You're under the assumption BOTH Keppinger and Gillaspie will be 750-800 OPS hitters for 2 months against all pitching in everyday play. I'll believe that when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll believe that when I see it. I'm not sure anyone is assuming that. However, Gillaspie has shown through spring training and now with some at-bats in the regular season that he may be a starter caliber player. Keppinger's history shows that at a minimum he can put the ball in play. If not much changes with these two guys, I like Keppinger and Gillaspie in the lineup over Beckham and Keppinger/Gillaspie.

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Are the Giants really so good and deep (especially considering Sandoval's history) that they can afford to trade someone with the ability to be an everyday player at 3B for someone who, at best, is 2-3 years away and profiles only as a reliever in Soptic?
