A bad one
He's been decent with the Pirates last year, pretty bad this year, albeit he has a 4-2 record. Not like that's saying anything tho.
Ventura said Hudson shall be in Chicago on Tuesday, will back up Gordon at 2B and play 3B when/if Morel goes to DL.
Beckham will still bat 2nd.
Thank you.

hudson has to clear waviers and then be able to sign
If he has agreed to terms, wouldn't that mean he already cleared?
Anyway, Hudson is not on the roster yet.

Moving Beckham now makes ZERO sense.
In the future, Lillibridge is the only middle infielder in our system who could claim to put up similar offensive numbers at 2B (to what Beckham has been doing the past month), but he'd be a platoon player against only LHP and there's considerable doubt whether he can handle the position defensively...or definitely questions about his compatibility with Alexei as double-play partners.
You certainly can't "build" around Hudson at 2B or 3B and get rid of Beckham.
Oh I agree, just Quinavry's brother argument about hitting made no sense if he was talking about moving him to 3B, he's still in the lineup.
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 20, 2012 -> 02:34 AM)
My brother says that they should move Beckham because Hudson is a former All-Star 2B.
My counter was Beckham has been playing Gold Glove D lately and Hudson is older and was just released.
His counter? "Can Beckham hit well enough?"
Who the f*** cares? We're talking about fielding.
Move Beckham to 3B or move as in trade?
It's worth noting that article says he agreed to take the BACKUP role with the White Sox over starting elsewhere, I think I was pushing to get him in 08, like Balta said, Kenny always gets his guy. With that said, if they end up DL'ing Morel, I want Hudson playing 3B and hitting ninth.

There is a giant banner on one of the buildings on Waveland saying "Welcome NATO".
They had all the flags out on the field before the game as well..

Finally the voice of reason.
I am so f***ing mad about Paulie's eye being closed and out a week. You wait, it will be a full week at least.
This is outrageous. That f***ing bum Cub hit him on purpose. No question about it.
Did he "mean" to hit him in the face? Probably not. At the time in the heat of the moment, who knows? He probably wanted to drill him in the shoulder.
The media has blown this. They should be protecting one of the top three players arguably in White Sox history.
THIS IS INSANE!
I want revenge. Not in the face, but I want both our starters to drill cubs in the first inning.
Get the long men ready, baby!! You don't mess with Paul Konerko. Hopefully Hawk will be on it the entire game.
LOL I love you.

Hudson isn't being brought in to help groom young talent. He is being brought in as a stopgap replacement at third base because Morel either shat the bed or his back is f***ed, or both. I could care less about him helping to groom young talent, I want a 9 hitter that isn't an automatic out.
My problem is that I am unsure if Hudson isn't an automatic out at this point in his career.
He was god awful or San Diego and yet better than Morel.
Hopefully he can learn 3B on the fly.
