southsider2k5 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Sorry, I meant Wise/BA/Fields. I think Wise gets DFA'd on Wednesday, and Fields is probably on the trade block. Yeah, I realized that after I posted... I deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 BA has hit some shots.. but has nothing to show for it, then hits a semi bunt hit, and of course Inge robs him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 But then what happens if Gordon really struggles and has to go back down to the minors? Betemit is gone. Do we just play Nix there? Viciedo is far from ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) Ugh. He hasn't given Ozzie any reason to play him over Wise with the bat lately. He could try doing us all a favor and getting some damned hits! The way it is going, Wise could stick around when TCQ comes back and Fields could go to Charlotte. Does he really need to? Has Wise done ANYTHING to even have a spot on a major league team at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play him regardless. Let's face it...if we can't count on Beckham in the next 3-5 years, then this entire rebuilding of the farm system is destined to fail.

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) Trade Fields, takes pressure off Becks. Gordon Beckham might be putting pressure on himself, but it has nothing to do with Josh Fields. OTOH, Beckham's promotion has gotten into Josh's head. First Joe Crede, now Beckham...he feels "victimized" by the organization and wants to use that as an excuse for not holding the position. 3B hit for power OR field. Do one or the other Josh, doing NEITHER doesn't guarantee you a position in ANY organization, not even Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 With Gordo you can definitely see he's pressing. When he gets his first hit, I'm sure it'll be smooth sailing for him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Trade Fields, takes pressure off Becks. ? That is actually the complete opposite. Beckham has nothing to lose. He is the future. Not every guy turns into Longoria/Bruce when they first show up to the bigs. Josh is the one who has a foggy future with our club and even he said it.

We have quite a few players on this team that really press too hard when they get going badly, instead of relaxing and letting it happen. If Beckham is like that, he fits right in.
