BlackSox13 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) LOL, sorry. Beckham just has virtually no value whatsoever at this point. The return you get is a minor leaguer like Sean Bierman - someone who has an idea of how to pitch, but he's low on talent - or Jeff Soptic - a guy who throws hard, has no idea where it's going, and really has nothing else to offer. Like, a 23 or 24 year old Dylan Axelrod would be too much for Beckham right now. First Soptic and now Axelrod? f***! I think I'd rather just DFA Beckham . The open hole could be filled by possibly getting two low level prospects for Danks. At least in theory anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) You get multiple A prospects for Quintana otherwise your GM gets fired. God damn prospects are overrated around here. maybe but like every sports forum the home team players and prospects are usually are. welcome to Monday morning GM'ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 15s #Cubs. Bonifacio one of many options for #SFGiants, as @Buster_ESPN said. SF also looking at 1B, 2B Bonifacio and Beckham both make sense. I'd take Bonifacio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mental game is gone at the plate and why should he have confidence his swing is all jacked up and he knows it. His OBP is now .268. That's brutal, it's 21 points lower than Flowers' ffs. Sox should just waive him and let Semian play the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Remember when Beckham was hitting near .300 a few months ago? It looked like he had a little bit of trade value back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) For Kelly Johnson...not sure that is even worth making a trade. And then DFA'd Brian Roberts. Whoever is looking for a bargain on a 2B will grab Roberts before giving anything up for Beckham, meaning there will be even less takers for Beckham by the waiver deadline.

You'd have to think he was put on waivers and the Sox are just waiting around to see what happens with that. Sitting him probably ruins any chance of getting any ol C or D prospect.

Eaton is prone to injury so you need someone. At this point I think I'd rather see De Aza in CF than watch Leury bat. In case of an emergency Eaton injury just go with Tank-De Aza-Sierra. Call up Danks if it's gonna be more than just a few days. Even if the finally DFA Beckham or trade him I'd still rather go with the above scenario and start Semien at 2B while replacing Leury with Sanchez.
