Please End The Bacon Experiment

[DewsSox79]

This guy has failed. He either needs to be sent down or a change of scenary. He is an automatic out.

 

[inactiveuser1]

Who?

 

[Capt. Serious]

Gordon Beckham. A guy who can't hit shouldn't have a nickname, let alone of one named Bacon.

 

[brett05]

So. Is. Morel. And Dunn.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Yeah, Morel was suppose to be a dynamite solid hitter.

Gordon Beckham. A guy who can't hit shouldn't have a nickname, let alone of one named Bacon.

Trade him :shrug:

 

[brett05]

Not a lot of value. Just keep him as a 9 hitter and teach him two things. Bunting and moving runners along

 

[Uman85]

I'm really disappointed with Gordon. I thought he was going to be a productive hitter for this team. Really sucks to see him struggling this much.

 

[GaelicSoxFan]

I knew he wasn't going to be a power hitter, but I thought he'd at least be able to make contact and drive it into the gaps.

 

[Uman85]

I knew he wasn't going to be a power hitter, but I thought he'd at least be able to make contact and drive it into the gaps.

Me too. I thought he could at least hit .275 and provide some run support lower in the order.

 

[nickofypres]

Send him to AAA.

 

[Capt. Serious]

It's one thing if he was hitting the ball hard or at least working the count, but my goodness, his AB's are just awful.

 

[Nero]

Beckham is an enigma; rushed to the majors and I never expect him to be even average at the plate. If he wasn't as good defensively and if the Sox weren't so stubborn to admit he's a bust...then he'd be Knight right about now.

 

[brett05]

True. But he's a phenom with the glove. I'm happy we have a solid defense again

 

[Capt. Serious]

Yes, but the kid needs to start hitting the fucking ball.

 

[brett05]

Until his glOve fails or we have a kid in the minors that can do both were good
