iamshack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) He's a terrible bunter. But I really wish Robin used the double steal more. Avi is above average and Trayce has pretty good speed. Avi has a pretty terrible record stealing bases, doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) It's astonishing he's still able to be in the majors despite some of the worst swings in baseball  I'm positive he wouldn't make an independent team either.  He is really bad.

Hell, Eaton isn't great either but Robin usually sends them in obvious counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Carlos, despite the home run, showing command, which is great to see. Â Looking more for improvement in that department right now more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sox are gonna have to play great baseball to win a game this series. Angels have a good team and have to be incensed at their play on the road of late including in Chicago. In other words they want blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) Chris Sale likes to throw to him so Geo Soto's 1.4 war in limited time means nothing Its a damn shame he can't call a game as good as Flowers. I still wonder if Flowers caught Shark if he suddenly bounces back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I see no way Gordon Beckham will be in the big leagues next season. Which begs the question. Is he one of the most disappointing players in White Sox history if not baseball history? He was a can't miss prospect and just could never hit the ball consistently. He'll be remembered as a guy who got hot a handful of times in his career when he was simply remarkable but 85 percent of the time he reeked. Â Do you all agree he's pretty much done? And will NOT be on a team next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackattack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 07:52 PM) Trayce looks so dangerous at the plate With how short his swing is I have hope he is one of those guys that can hit better in the majors, considering pitchers are more around the zone. He seems to see breaking balls well and has a great eye in this brief exposure, just wish I could see him against a righty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can make a case for Beckham being one of the most disappointing players in Sox history -- considering where he was drafted, what he has done and accomplishments of the teams he's been on. Sox have had a lot of busts, true, but he's right up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
