2nd_city_saint787 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Callaspo :prays: I kinda dig it, havent looked at the whole thread so this has prob been brought up but.... the guys a sox killer which has me thinkin is it just the way the sox pitch him and set up for him on D that makes him a sox killer or do you guys think he just likes hitting in the cell....id like to think he just likes hitting in the cell so i like the trade, i have a funny feeling he can put the type of numbers he did in 06 which btw (im sure everyones already looked at this but oh well) were .290 18 69 70 runs in 109 games. To throw out something else for you guys to ponder, beckham is like a god around here and his numbers (in 6 less games) were .270 14 63 58 runs(yes i know it was beckhams rookie . So its like why wouldnt you be stoked about this guy, yes his production has fell off but hes still young and playing on a team that is actually going somewhere i think he'll have the desire to play better. im a numbers geek soooo lets say we look at that 06 season and if he would have played around 145 games which is his average over the past 3 years he woulda been on pace for 23 HR and 91 RBI. so i for one am stoked to see what this guy can do in a sox uni. Im going to make my bold prediction now and say he hits .280 .333 OBP 20 HR 82 RBI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Man trades make people say crazy things. Lead off Beckham, putting Rios in the 2-hole, getting Alex Gordon. We have many months ahead, I guarantee this is the first of many moves made this offseason. KW knows that his starting rotation needs some support and he also knows that a youth movement is coming with the leadership that players like Beckham brings.

If I would have told you last night we would make this trade today, you would have said I was saying crazy things...in fact, I've been predicting we would go after Teahan for 6 months now and people did say I was crazy.

KW knows that his starting rotation needs some support and he also knows that a youth movement is coming with the leadership that players like Beckham brings. I definitely think he's a middle order hitter, but if somehow the Sox can get another RBI/run producer, just total speculation and a wish of mine say Adam Dunn and his last year at 10m, I wouldn't mind seeing Gordon bat lead-off for 1 year. I would rather have Gordon leading off in that scenario or even bringing Pods back cheaply to see if he can have another OK year. Stick Pods in left and have a rotation of Q, Dunn (or whatever run producer/power hitter) and PK between RF, 1b and DH... Now, defensive questions and money exist, but Beckham at leadoff for 1 year, and 1 year only, isn't a terrible option in my book. Run out: GB 3b Rios CF Q RF Dunn/Abreu DH (or similar player) PK 1b AJ C Alexi SS Teahen 2b Pods LF (or mix it up) Now, that D might be a little scarier than the offensive potential, but that's a very good lineup Edited November 5, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No terms, I'll guess 2 years 18, with his incentive that would be a 3m raise from last year Edited November 5, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think Beckham at leadoff is a one-year stop-gap. Not a long-term option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I like this move, I love it if Teahen moves to 3rd, Ramirez back to 2B and Beckham to SS, then we go get another OF. Go get Figgins and Dunn or Polanco and Dunn, and I'd love our lineup...(Or Nick Johnson instead of Dunn) OF Figgins SS Beckham OF Quentin DH Dunn/Johnson 1B Konerko C Pierzynski OF Rios 2B Ramirez 3B Teahen or 3B Beckham 2B Polanco LF Quentin DH Dunn/Johnson 1B Konerko C Pierzynski CF Rios SS Ramirez RF Teahen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJP-C 8. Ramirez-SS 9. Teahan-3B personally, I would rather bat Beckham leadoff in that scenario and Pods 9th and that's just because statistically Pods had his 2nd best year of his career last year, and at his age I can't expect him to duplicate it Edited November 5, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 if you go pods/beckham (from 2009 numbers) theres a 58% chance that someone will start the game, on base for Quentin. and with Pods, theres a 30% chance he'll be on 2B or 3B after he either gets a hit or walk.
