chitownsportsfan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) what a luxury having a guy like Bonafacio is. Can play almost every position and hits well enough to where if you had to plug him in for a month it wouldn't be a complete black hole in the lineup. Seriously the difference between him and the guys they trotted out last year (Leury mostly) is probably 2 WAR. Can't say enough what an amazing job Hahn did fixing pretty much every weakness, including bench utility guy.

Defense alone will keep Beckham in the majors His defense is slightly above average. I'm not "hating" on Beckham. I just don't think he's very good, and he was lucky the Sox brought him back. Once he leaves again, (and he will), he may have a tough time finding a team to take him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Beckham is batting a cool .053 in spring training. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we cut him before the season started Edited March 13, 2015 by BigHurt3515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we cut him before the season started that's what I'm thinking as well one year deals are only partially guaranteed. opening day position players could be the following and he's the odd man out. I mean, if you want a defensive replacement for Conor and Micah, it's Sanchez, not Gordon. Gordon is mediocre at best at 3B.

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 One, Gray is going to be really good... B-roll bullpen of Ascensio and Kensing good...Webb looking more and more like he's Charlotte bound with more experienced hurlers like Albers and Crain looming. Finally, Beltre makes an unexpected run at a Shuck for the final of spot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Daniel Webb is probably looking at some time in Charlotte if Albers makes the team. Edited March 13, 2015 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was laughing early when Beckham made a pretty good play and the Rockies guys said Gordon wasn't noted for his defense. Guess they never listen to Hawk or other teams' radio feeds.

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Depends if they believe Sanchez is better off playing everyday (at Charlotte) or he's pretty much destined to end up as a utility guy.

As long as he can play 3b and Ss from a physical standpoint, you might be right. He had a nice line drive (for an out) to the opposite field yesterday...looked like he had a plan up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, he's lucky he was wrongly IDed as a 1st round talent, otherwise he'd probably have been given far fewer chances. Don't feel bad for the guy he's already made quite a bit of money and he has a lifetime gig in the White Sox' org if he wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
