June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:18 PM) st louis really must think he can play 3rd, because they dont have an opening at 1b for a long time Well Pujols' contract is up after the 2011 season.
June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) The thing about his professor asking him for an autograph was pretty funny... Seems like a guy who could be a fan favorite. And, why is the Twins draft pick at the draft? Is he the only draftee there? Edited June 5, 200817 yr by dasox24
June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (heirdog @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) Good point. But in the top 10, you have to try and get the star. I guess I'm just not as high on Beckham as I was on Smoak but I'll get around to it. That is true, but you have to take everything into account. The draft is too much of a crapshoot anyway. A solid SS/2B has more value than a 1B unless the guy is far superior in terms of overall numbers. Looking at it that way, you have to go with defense: Beckham .969 OPS, 13 HRs, 33 XBHs, in 228 ABs Smoak 1.065 OPS, 22 HRs, 38 XBHs, in 260 ABs Not much of a difference with both playing in the same conference.

Another thing: How is it possible for a person to have such a bigger lower-half of his body than upper-half? i.e. Wallace I'd guess he neglects the lower half of his body in workouts. He really is a disgusting fat body. Couldn't even run straight in the videos featured on ESPN.

June 5, 200817 yr Oh, sweet! Beckham on ESPN! Damn, you can tell he's from the South, lol... Edited June 5, 200817 yr by dasox24

June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) Beckham's junior year numbers are .397-24-65 .781 SLG .505 OBP Sick.

June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) I'm not saying I hate Beckham or won't cheer for him if he plays for the Barons, I just thought that Smoak would have brought more to the system than Beckham. Like another slow footed base clogging power hitter? Yipeee!
June 5, 200817 yr Talked to my brother at BA, and the Sox were thrilled and shocked Bekcham was still on the board. I'm happy with the pick, even if I hate UGa.
June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:31 PM) He sure carries himself well. Yeah he does (said in a southern accent, emphasizing the Yeah). That's good to see. I think sometimes we forget about player smarts, which I think have a big effect on players' success. Seems like a pretty quick guy.
June 5, 200817 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) Man does this guy have a lot of hair. Is there a forehead under there anywhere? I have my hair about half his length and I can barely fit a baseball cap on my head. It must be hell for him to fit a Georgia cap on that dome.
