witesoxfan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 27, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) Remember when Beckham wasn't done improving? Well that's about the worst argument ever. Saying "x" won't improve because "y" didn't is incredibly generalized and all together wrong. Maybe we should take each example individually and work from there, mmk?

Haha no I'm not saying that - my point is, it's pointless to talk about how good he might be in the future. IMO right NOW he serves us best out of the 2 hole. But we'll see. If his power develops then id have no qualms batting him 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have just said that in the first place, because it is much more logical and well reasoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 27, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) The guy has limited power. He's a gap power, 20 homer guy. I'd much rather we have a line drive hitter who makes consistent contact and sprays doubles all over the field in the 2 hole, and leave Abreu for 3rd. The kid has unlimited power. Whether he uses it in the games is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that as of right this moment, his bat better serves us in the 2 hole IMO. Remember when Jose Bautista blew up out of no where?

I really don't want Lexi and his sub-300 OBP in the two hole. If Avi isn't 2nd to start the season I'll eat all the crow you want a What you are not considering is the complete lineup. IF Avi hits 2nd, that probably leaves 6-9( SS-2B-3B-C) as all singles hitters. That also leaves Viciedo/DeAza as the protection for the 4th batter. I think we will see Beckham or Alexei or whoever wins 3b as the second batter. the bigger issue is Eaton. If he fails, who bats 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little devil's advocate here, but how is it that you consider Eaton not to be an issue but Avisail to have limited power if we're going based on their current developmental status? Eaton did not have a successful year last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
