DirtySox Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Phil Rogers sucks, but he's reiterating a Rosenthal rumor that the Red Sox are interested in Gordon Beckham for their SS vacancy. This in addition to Floyd for the rotation. Edited January 24, 2012 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If another team wants to give up something for him, that means they think he can turn the bats around. Otherwise, they can just wait until he's DFA'd in a year or two.

His trade value surely isn't very high right now.   True, but value as far as defense is at the highest it's been for him. A team sees that, looks at the team control years, and then pictures his rookie year OBP, and maybe for the right team this is actually the most intriguing he'll be ever again  He'll be 26 by late next season--the question has to be asked at some point here...

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 With is trade value pretty low right now, I'd only trade Beckham if I was blown away by the offer. So I doubt this happens. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where his defense would take a severe dip in value. You've gotta give Gordon at least another year with a new hitting coach. If he bombs, good bye.

You know where that one comes from? Pedro Cerrano. Straight ball I hit it very much. Curve ball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar and rum. He will come.

Fine, if they pay the price of his current defensive prowess and rookie OBP, then we should get a grand return for him. That means A prospects, not Bs and Cs.

Â For what he means to this franchise (in terms of his symbolism) the price would have to be skyhigh. It would have to start at a very highly ranked prospect (whoever the top is in the Bos system) and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Over The Monster notes that the Red Sox have a full 40 man, so any possible Gavin or Beckham deal might involve player or two from the list of Felix Doubront, Stolmy Pimentel, Drake Britton, Lars Anderson, or Michael Bowden. Most of these players have little value obviously, so one would hope they aren't trade centerpieces. They certainly could be throw-ins though.
