And before someone comes in here and says, "Oh if Beckham had his 3000 plate appearances with the *fill in random team* you would be excited." No I wouldn't. I would be saying the same thing. There is a significant sample size that says Gordon Beckham sucks against LHP and RHP equally. He has no power. He doesn't hit for average. He does not run well. If only we had a player who could do a couple of those things to be the RH half of the platoon...
Oh but Beckham is great at defense? He is a guy who who has played 79 innings at 3B since Tiger Woods' wife put a 6 iron through his windshield and people talk about him like he's Brooks Robinson over there solely because Hahn has said he is a decent defender at 3B the days after he gave him a personal vote of confidence. Where else could he have embellished Beckham?
Didn't Beckham grade out as the worst 3B in the majors last year? Thought I read that on here.
