Anybody else think it's stupid to have a 7 day DL for concussions only? If they're going to have the 7 day DL, teams should be able to use it for any injury. It can really put teams in a tight spot if they have a couple players nursing injuries that will be out for 5 or 6 games and opening up the 7 day DL would really help that.

That's a good point - I see no reason why the 7-day DL can't just be used universally. I guess it would negate the 14-day DL because teams would just keep putting players on the 7-day DL to give themselves more flexibility.

Beckham will have a built in excuse now if he comes back and struggles...

Well, we better bring him back next year, then. The reason he'll have a 70-something OPS+ and the worst OBP of any 2b in baseball THIS year will only be because of his wrist.

See, you say stuff like this, and then you get me rambling, and I want to save my mad ramblings for stuff that can be published.

Maybe that will loosen him up and he'll go to the plate like he has nothing to lose.

I'd think it'd be difficult to hit with that type of injury.

Gordon Beckham will go on DL with a fractured left hamate bone. - Dan Hayes

#whitesox will make a corresponding move tomorrow. Recovery is 6-8 weeks from surgery, which hasn't been scheduled.

Welcome to the show Carlos Sanchez (SPECULATING)

Edited April 11, 201312 yr by witesoxfan

Well that really sucks

50/50 chance this effectively ends his career with the Sox. He'd have to come back raking now, no time at all to struggle.

Keon Barnum had his right hamate bone removed earlier this year. Here was ptatc's analysis regarding that

 

Easy to recover from. Just need to let the bone heal so it doesn't injure the ulnar nerve as it goes through the tunnel of guyon of the the hook of the hamate (the part they remove) makes up one of the sides. About 1/3 of all MLB hitters have this done at one time or another.

 

Too bad.

 

I would say this is a good opportunity for Conor Gillaspie.

UGH....Beck was looking pretty good at the plate.

 

His defense will def be missed.

Amazing to me how this injury became Beckham bashing by some. We will miss that defense for sure and his offense was looking better too. Hopefully he is back healthy in less than the 6-8 weeks predicted

I'd say no Sanchez. This is Gillaspie's big shot.

50/50 chance this effectively ends his career with the Sox. He'd have to come back raking now, no time at all to struggle.

Yeah, and if Gillaspie or whomever his replacement is plays well in his absence then there simply may be no starting role for him when he comes back.

Time to burn the jersey.

This is such a huge bummer. Really hoping Beckham could pull through, I'm guessing this is it.

it might make sense to bring up an extra reliever. with no off days for awhile, you run the risk of burning out your bullpen. Plus, they have sanchez as backup IF.

Many will peg this as a downgrade to our defense........but if we just look at 2B, what can we say about Kepp-for-Bacon? If I remember correctly, this offseason ..people were talking about Kepp being better at 2b than 3b(or saying 3b had a murky sample size)

 

I find CG intriguing as all hell. Maybe just a guy who..while being a little old...seems to have just never gotten enough of an opportunity to make his promise happen.

Keppinger's an alright 2B. Gordon's actually pretty damn good.

He doesn't have a brother named Reggie, does he?

Damn drama queens... relax.

I hate this as this had to be the year for Beckham to show he can hit enough to earn an extension from the White Sox. Really awful timing for him and the organization.
