August 21, 201411 yr Best of luck to Beckham. I hope he does well....and yet, not a single Sox fan should be mad at the organization if he succeeds elsewhere. He was given a ton of chances.
August 21, 201411 yr Author It's kinda sad. We all had so much hope in the guy... and it looks like the White Sox didn't even get anything for him.
August 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) Now let's see Marcus the rest of the year, please, not Leury Garcia. I'd be stunned if it's not Semien or Sanchez

August 21, 201411 yr It was time and as a baseball move it's really not a big deal what we got in return. With that said, Gordon was a particularly likeable guy and deserves the best.
August 21, 201411 yr Last week, the lineup was Abreu and Gillaspie and no one else with a long-term future with the Sox. Next week, we should see Abreu/Eaton/Avi/Gillaspie/Semien....that alone makes things more interesting.
August 21, 201411 yr Sweet. Best of luck to Gordon. I hope a change of scenery does him good. Good guy but its time for a new face. Who is getting promoted?

Also, it makes it a whole less awkward than if they DFA'd him or benched him for the last month.

August 21, 201411 yr Such a bummer he never amounted to the great hitting 2B everyone thought the Sox had. The move had to be done, he wasn't gonna turn it around in Chicago.
August 21, 201411 yr A change of scenery is good. I'm guessing he's going to play SS and 3B for the first time in a long time too. Aybar is not good against lefties whereas Beckham has hit them very well, even in a poor year overall.
August 21, 201411 yr Definitely wish him the best as he seems like a great guy but I'm happy to see that he's gone. Marcus time!
August 21, 201411 yr Either: Eaton Semien Abreu Dunn Garcia Gillaspie Viciedo Ramirez Flowers Or Eaton Ramirez Abreu Dunn Garcia Gillaspie Tank Flowers Sanchez.... A lot more fun to watch
August 21, 201411 yr We should know shortly who's getting promoted, as Charlotte's game starts at 5:30.
