If he could find some consistency, he'd be a keeper. We'll have to see. Without A.J., we still have potentially one 40+, one 30+ and three 20+ home run hitters in the lineup. Power isn't the issue this offseason, balance is. Every position doesn't require a hitter with power as long as he can handle the bat. |

.249/.310/.372/.682, 13 HR, 62 RBI, 76 R, 30 D, 3 T, 52 BB, 110 K, 15/20 SB, 93.0 AB/HR Here is Beckham in 2012: .234/.296/.371/.668, 16 HR, 60 RBI, 62 R, 24 D, 0 T, 40 BB, 89 K, 5/9 SB, 32.8 AB/HR I know we all think Beckham should be an All-Star caliber 2B based on his draft position and effortless minor league success but it's pretty clear he's not that kind of player, however, considering the position he plays and the type of defense he brings, he's still a useful player at 2B. Look at the offensive production Detroit got from it's 2B last season and they won the division. Offense from your middle infielders is nice to have, but not essential.

Also Keppy is a huge addition, as of now he's starting 3B......Brings a ton of utility and opens a lot of trade windows... I'd like to see some fuel to the Ellsbury talks. BOS wants a SP, Floyd for Ellsbury........Possibly beckham and flowers for ellsbury and salti????

In the majors, of qualifying second basemen, there are 10 guys that hit over .260; 16 guys (one more than average) who hit over .250 and Beckham was second to last of all 2B qualifiers in OBP. If you want to really put the spotlight on run production, there were 10 qualifiers who hit the same number of or more homers and 15 qualifiers who had more RBIs. Run production is a bonus from the 2B position, but he should at least be able to hit close to the average BA and OBP for his position. At some point the above average glove won't make up for such mediocre numbers. Maybe Keppinger on the team will get him to put up better at-bats. |

I get the impression that Hahn is not through making some deals. He keeps saying as of now Keppenger is our third baseman. Maybe I'm reading into this, but maybe he might be our new second baseman. Perhaps Beckham will be moved in a trade with someone else for a third baseman.

In a perfect world, maybe the Sox would look to upgrade their offense from 2B but that's not the most pressing need for this team. Considering the Tigers won the division and the league pennant despite getting absolutely miserable production from their 2B all year long, I'd say this is one of those items you can place on the Sox's dream list. Oh, and Gordon's BAbip last year was .254, over 30 points lower than his career average entering the 2012 season, so it's not unrealistic to think he could bounce back to at least standard league averages in terms of BA and OBP next season. There's probably upgrades out there but the Sox can surely win with Gordon at 2B, too. I'm not too worried about it. |
