RockRaines Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) Not only that, but it will be at least 2-3 years before Beckham does anything of note at the MLB level. This isn't the NBA or NFL. He will prob be up the end of next season with a shot in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he dominates high A this season and rakes in AA the beginning of next year, theres no reason he wont be up. As much as we hope Alexei and Richar will be studs, Beckham should be better than both.

Cubano Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Alexei has shown he can hit to all fields. He should hit in the number 2 spot though leadoff would not be bad either considering this team does not have a true leadoff guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Beckham projects as a very nice, solid MLB player who should have a solid career, but he is not the 2nd coming of A-Rod, not in this life time or any other. Â I LIKE the pick a lot, but lets let the kid face minor league pitching before annointing him anyone's replacement who is currently on the MLB roster.

Luckily we have zero middle infielders as good of a player as A-rod. So he only has to be better than another Alexei, and probably Richar, which is most definitely doable.

Â Well there is that time-space contium to deal with. Jose cound potentially -as an 80 year old- see himself pitching at 47 and we'd have a paradox. Â /end cheesy back to future reference, not to mention reference to 80s metal band (Paradox) that no one has ever heard of.
