Is Gordon Beckham a Bust?

Featured Replies

I was at the game today and from my seats in section 103 in RF, I was very unimpressed with "Slayer". Considering how many at bats he had in college and the minors, it was hugely disappointing that he did not go 5-5 with at least 3 home runs and 7 RBI. He also did not have one Web Gem all day. I think it is time to end this experiment and trade him before his stock drops further. Thoughts?

His play today inspired very little in me other then the compulsion to vomit. I have changed my colors, i am now a Tigers fan. Boy, that Clete Thomas is the greatest!!!

Absolute waste of a draft pick. He sucks at baseball, and he isn't even as good looking as everyone makes him out to be! Way to go Kenny...

We should call him Bustham.

 

I vote for Becksham.

Hopefully Robbie Alomar is available somewhere.

Or I'm sure we could get Uribe back. At least he got a hit every once and a while.

Wow you guys are f***ing idiots, the kid is still young and it was his first game. My god you guys just please stop being sox fans asap. Some people on this site are truly morons.

I think we should sign David Beckham. There's only one true Beckham.

I couldn’t stop crying after the game so I tried to get some sleep. I woke up in a puddle of my own urine and in a Wonder Woman consume. Neither of these things made sense, but one thing is for certain. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT GORDON BECKHAM!!!

dude, give it atleast another half a game before you give up on him. He hit like 600 in AAA1!!1!1!!!!one!!1!!eleventy

I didn't know people were sarcastic on soxtalk anymore. Learn something new everyday.

Yes.

Bring up Lillibridge immediately.

It would be nice to see him do something positive in the next 7 games on this homestand, however.

He'll probably play in five or six of the seven.

Lets say he gets 24 more at bats. Would nice to see him get eight or more hits and cause some Beckham-mania rather than more of the Sox snooze attack.

we should bring back Betemit, why give up our top glove for this ubber prospect, ha

I knew we should have drafted last year!

Why don't you make this a positive thread and give me your expectations for him

the next 7 games on this homestand.

I want eight hits in his next 24 at bats and him to enliven our s*** offense.

 

Is a marble statue of a torso a bust?

 

Are a pair of breasts a bust?

 

If you stick a pin in a balloon is it a bust?

Beckham = Borchard + Caruso + Lorenzo Barcelo combined

Change his nickname from Slayer to Sleeper. Another 1st round bust. He's a disgrace to the number 15.

There's only one true 15 and that's Sandy Alomor, Jr.!!!!!

In all seriousness, I was slightly disturbed by Beckham's at-bats. I'm not worried, but as far as I had read he wasn't capable of 3 garbage at-bats in a row, and that's more or less what we got today. Just shows what scouting reports can put in your head, or as some posters would say the better version of Derek Jeter.
