Beckhams Quote

kinda sad. "I played so bad unfortunately I don’t know how much of a chance the White Sox have to trade me."

Talk about a player needing a change of scenery.

I will always love Beckham. Really thought he could have been our Ryne Sandberg but now .... oh well.

maybe the bat will click some time... Just not here probably.

What I also find strange is how he appeared to have made positive adjustments in his stroke and was hitting for a much better average. And like over-night he switched back to his old hitched swing. He has one of the best right-handed hitters in the AL in Konerko and a guy, Steverson, who is a hitting wiz. I'd love to know what happened. If a scrub like me sees his flaws, everyone can see it and it was and is correctable. That is on him.

So far the evidence says Steverson has made no change for the team

Gillespie? And guys like Flowers and Beckham were hitting better but they seem to have went back to their terrible flaws.

Sox still don't have a clue on how to take a walk.

Still whiff way too much.

That's a sad quote, but at the same time what the hell is he doing saying that! Sure, he may need a change of scenery in the long run, but to just give up the way he has ... man ...

yup. it pretty shitty to have that public. i feel bad for him.

Maybe they will hang onto him because the Hawkeroo has a woody for his mom

I disagree in that Flowers definitely has changed his approach. Connor has emerged as a top notch hitter also. The only guys that I see have slipped are De Aza who is trying to jack the ball instead of doing what Connor does and Beckham who abandoned what Steverson recommended. Eaton's average has climbed, Alexi has come out since the all-star break and bit the snot out of the ball, etc. It is pretty much impossible to prove one way or the other but steverson sure does have a great reputation.

Its easy to prove. Compare slash lines

Thing is that the Sox are better in BA, and slugging Percentage and about the same in On-base percentage compared to last year. And you cannot keep one player out and compare stats. Who is to say that Abreau hasn't benefited from being with Steverson?

The White Sox are also very high in the league in total bases which also is a key stat.

Who is to say he did? He was an accomplished hitter before

It's only right to factor him out. You have to compare apples to apples.

In reality you need to compare last years guys to this years guys eliminating any hitter that did nit play both

 

[nickofypres]

DFA him. He serves no purpose anymore.

Nah. You cannot selectively pick and choose who you put in and take out. There are way too many variables involved in trying to make statistical sense out of
of it. Players come and go. Players play hurt and others stay healthy. Some players listen to a coach and others do not. What I see is what I see. I talked to Steverson a year ago when he was in Arizona with the A's minor league camp and the people that I talked to while there were raving about him. I also read a lot about him and it is all positive.
