fathom Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Best of luck to Beckham. I hope he does well....and yet, not a single Sox fan should be mad at the organization if he succeeds elsewhere. He was given a ton of chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's kinda sad. We all had so much hope in the guy... and it looks like the White Sox didn't even get anything for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It was time and as a baseball move it's really not a big deal what we got in return. With that said, Gordon was a particularly likeable guy and deserves the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Last week, the lineup was Abreu and Gillaspie and no one else with a long-term future with the Sox. Next week, we should see Abreu/Eaton/Avi/Gillaspie/Semien....that alone makes things more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Sweet. Best of luck to Gordon. I hope a change of scenery does him good. Good guy but its time for a new face. Who is getting promoted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, Gordon was a particularly likeable guy and deserves the best. Like I said, frees up some at bats for Semien and/or Sanchez and allows the Sox to save so money. Also, it makes it a whole less awkward than if they DFA'd him or benched him for the last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Such a bummer he never amounted to the great hitting 2B everyone thought the Sox had. The move had to be done, he wasn't gonna turn it around in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 A change of scenery is good. I'm guessing he's going to play SS and 3B for the first time in a long time too. Aybar is not good against lefties whereas Beckham has hit them very well, even in a poor year overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian310 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Either: Eaton Semien Abreu Dunn Garcia Gillaspie Viciedo Ramirez Flowers Or Eaton Ramirez Abreu Dunn Garcia Gillaspie Tank Flowers Sanchez.... A lot more fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
