It matters what he does the rest of this season. As of right now, yes he is. If he goes the rest of the season though showing no signs of improving and no extra base ability, then no.

Brian Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I drop my jaw at the Chris Berman video and Hawk telling them at the time they were doing a great job. What a sham. Berman and that crew were so one sided those 3 games. It was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If he eventually becomes a bust on the level of Brian Anderson, I'll agree with your statement. I'm not ready to rule him out as a very good player -someday. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) GB has taught me for the final time to never get too hype over a White Sox prospect.

I'm not ready to rule him out as a very good player -someday. I'm in no way giving up on Beckham. It's just really deflating when a franchise that's been as inept as the White Sox have been as far as developing their own legitimate minor league talent that a seemingly "sure thing" completely and utterly falls on his face. In a season of extreme disappointment, nobody has signified that more than Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, he's on base more than he has been in recent years. Second, he's got a manger who not only is giving him the green light, but is telling him to get running, as opposed to being conservative. If you're shooting for an 80% stolen base clip, you're going to steal a lot more bases than you will if you shoot for a 95% stolen base clip.

He's gone from someone who some thought could be an MVP contender (that was just silly though) to one of the worst everyday starters in baseball.

If you're shooting for an 80% stolen base clip, you're going to steal a lot more bases than you will if you shoot for a 95% stolen base clip. He's easily safe more than anyone on our team. He's not the fastest guy, he just has a great feel for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on pace for .318/.377/.590 34 HRs/83 RBI/ 109 R/ 51 SBs all while playing stellar defense in CF His only weakness has been his BA w/RISP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
