July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) LOL, sorry. Beckham just has virtually no value whatsoever at this point. The return you get is a minor leaguer like Sean Bierman - someone who has an idea of how to pitch, but he's low on talent - or Jeff Soptic - a guy who throws hard, has no idea where it's going, and really has nothing else to offer. Like, a 23 or 24 year old Dylan Axelrod would be too much for Beckham right now. First Soptic and now Axelrod? f***! I think I'd rather just DFA Beckham . The open hole could be filled by possibly getting two low level prospects for Danks. At least in theory anyway.
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) You get multiple A prospects for Quintana otherwise your GM gets fired. God damn prospects are overrated around here. maybe but like every sports forum the home team players and prospects are usually are. welcome to Monday morning GM'ing
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:17 AM) man you are a great poster as many here, the only time I really get angry is when race, and stupidity is involve. peace. Right back at ya!

July 30, 201411 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 15s #Cubs. Bonifacio one of many options for #SFGiants, as @Buster_ESPN said. SF also looking at 1B, 2B Bonifacio and Beckham both make sense. I'd take Bonifacio
July 30, 201411 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 2m #SFGiants still looking at 2B options, including Gordon Beckham, Emilio Bonifacio, Asdrubal Cabrera. Expand https://twitter.com/jonmorosi
July 31, 201411 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 16m Beckham: "I played so bad unfortunately I don’t know how much of a chance the White Sox have to trade me."
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 16m Beckham: "I played so bad unfortunately I don’t know how much of a chance the White Sox have to trade me." he's toast. His mental game is gone at the plate and why should he have confidence his swing is all jacked up and he knows it. His OBP is now .268. That's brutal, it's 21 points lower than Flowers' ffs. Sox should just waive him and let Semian play the rest of the way.

July 31, 201411 yr The guy I wanted gone the most looks like he will be here at least for a few more games
July 31, 201411 yr Remember when Beckham was hitting near .300 a few months ago? It looked like he had a little bit of trade value back then.
July 31, 201411 yr Yankees pick up Stephen Drew.....Stephen Drew can be moved easily but Beckham can't? Amazing
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) Yankees pick up Stephen Drew.....Stephen Drew can be moved easily but Beckham can't? Amazing For Kelly Johnson...not sure that is even worth making a trade.

Amazing QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) For Kelly Johnson...not sure that is even worth making a trade. And then DFA'd Brian Roberts. Whoever is looking for a bargain on a 2B will grab Roberts before giving anything up for Beckham, meaning there will be even less takers for Beckham by the waiver deadline.
August 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 07:55 PM) Why is he still here? Couldn't trade him, he'll be non-tendered in the offseason.
August 7, 201411 yr Even while in MiLB, Semien has to pass through waivers. I doubt he'd make it past 1 or 2 teams.

Ya, I made a whoopsies....On that note, I'm not exactly sure why he's still here. You'd have to think he was put on waivers and the Sox are just waiting around to see what happens with that. Sitting him probably ruins any chance of getting any ol C or D prospect. Edited August 7, 201411 yr by scs787

If I were running the show, I'd probably call up Marcus and send Leury to AAA
August 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 09:17 PM) If I were running the show, I'd probably call up Marcus and send Leury to AAA I can tell you why they aren't doing that.. Who is the back up CF in that case? Eaton is prone to injury so you need someone.

At this point I think I'd rather see De Aza in CF than watch Leury bat. In case of an emergency Eaton injury just go with Tank-De Aza-Sierra. Call up Danks if it's gonna be more than just a few days. Even if the finally DFA Beckham or trade him I'd still rather go with the above scenario and start Semien at 2B while replacing Leury with Sanchez.
