July 21, 200916 yr Made me think about how long we want Beckham at 3B?? For me, he has so much more value at 2B or SS because of his ability to drive the ball. Imagine having a stud 3B AND Beckham at 2B or SS?? Hopefully this organization doesn't seen the need for him at 3B beyond this year. We need him at 2B or SS moving forward because it's a serious advantage having a guy who can handle the bat like he can at that position. To me, he is going to be a GREAT #2 hitter at 2B or SS for his White Sox career. Thoughts??? Edited July 21, 200916 yr by JohnCangelosi
July 21, 200916 yr I think he's a great #3 hitter and could be a multiple time all-star if he moves to 2nd base

July 21, 200916 yr I dunno. Which one are we getting rid of next year, Fields or Getz? My money seems to be on Fields.
July 21, 200916 yr I was going to add that the other thing is that the Sox like Getz and he fits this club very nicely (great role playing starter to have). So currently we have Getz and zero 3rd baseman (Fields blows, Viciedo is still a year away with defensive issues, so yeah, Beckham is the guy considering we have Ramirez and Getz who are capable of being league average to above average at there respected positions).
July 21, 200916 yr Beckman appears to be set for 3B for now. Fields is as good as gone to me after the season.

July 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) He might end up at 2B, but right now he's most important at 3B. agreed, unless we go get Mark Teahen or Brandon Wood. Also i can't wait for Morel to continue to develop

July 21, 200916 yr I can only see him moving to 2B or SS, I dont really care which on Alexi plays, if the sox acquire or sign some established 3B. Someone outside the organization, but u know that if they dont feel that player is out for them then Beckham is your man at 3B next year as well.
July 21, 200916 yr They have to move Becks away from third base, or he has to improve drastically soon. Right now he has zero range, which is what worries me the most.
July 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) Right! He is where he needs to be now We aren't really talking about right now, it would be just silly to do that if the org. moved him from 3B.
