fathom Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Or he's trying to take the pressure off of Semien by putting him 9th? From what I've seen this year, Beckham's probably the better bet to hit behind the runner if needed than Semien is anyways. Nothing to lose with this move.

The Ginger Kid Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Semien's failed to make contact a number of times with runners at 2nd or 3rd with less than 2 outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think its good to get Semien out of the 2 hole and down in the line up to take some pressure off him but I don't know if I like Beckham in that spot. But doesn't Beckham have good numbers when batting 2nd? or is that batting 8th or 9th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Semien strikes out way too much to bat 2nd much longer. his contact rate not real good right now. Semien may benefit from hitting lower with less pressure. Edited April 28, 2014 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 QUOTE (onedude @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Probably more for Beckhams benefit, less for Marcus. Maybe to spark Gordon? I hope that's the reason anyway. Beckham hasn't looked bad since coming back. He's behind on fastballs, hitting a lot to the right side, but getting good wood on the ball. If he gets a hold of something off speed, it's likely he'll smash it. It's clear that the White Sox will try anything to squeeze the potential out of Gordon.
