Dick Allen Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 01:53 PM) That is the thing that is killing me about Betamit, he isn't hitting either! At least if he was generating runs, you could justify his existence on our roster. With Nix around to play 3B, I'd rather see Lillibridge around than Betemit. Yup, I said it. At least Brent can stop a baseball with a glove. He'd hit if he played more. Its not easy when you are getting 19 AB a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Maybe Beckham comes up for Betemit and rotates between 2B, 3B, and SS. He probably could also play 1B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably could also play 1B. Betemit has 0 options left and would have to be released in that case. Not sure I'd complain.

Â Personally, I don't have much of a problem with this, as long as Beckham is comfortable with it (and I imagine he is). As long as the kid has a good head on his shoulders, then I think there's no reason he couldn't handle a little 3B or 2B or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 We have no chance against a pitcher named "OUTman" Pretty cool pitcher's name, alot better than Kevin "Walker" or Scott "Eyre" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been playing all the positions in the minors. What's the difference? If he can catch the ball and hit better than what's in Chicago, its time to move him up. He's coming up in September anyway.

Â The difference is that you don't take a kid who is still learning the professional game and give him too many things to worry about. At the minor league level there is little to no pressure and he is expected to learn once he is here everything will be increased. Â By the way he is averaging 1 error per game played at 3B in AAA. If he is expected to play the position well, maybe the Sox should let him learn the position before he is brought to the show. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read here countless times how Robin Ventura couldn't field in the minors, and even Joe Crede. So they didn't learn in the minors.
