The Savior Has Arrived: Beckham Called Up

Apparently the White Sox' patience has run out. Gordon Beckham, the organization's top prospect, is to be called up prior to tomorrow's game and Wilson Betemit is to be designated for assignment.
Beckham spent just seven games in Charlotte and his hitting, which had been very good in Birmingham, was torrid in AAA - .464/.448/.679 - including six doubles. He also played six of those seven games at third base but had three errors.
"He's going to play," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Where, we're going to find out. Is he going to play third base every day? I don't think so. But he will get plenty of at-bats. To me, he has to be in the lineup every day and get a good percentage of at-bats."
Guillen said he would bat seventh or ninth.
Merkin also speculates that Beckham will also see time as designated hitter.
Guillen is quoted as saying Beckham will be in the starting lineup tomorrow. He will be making his debut a day short of the one year anniversary of the White Sox picking him #8 overall in last year's draft. Purchase your tickets now, Sox fans - 1:05 start.
more after the jump on the other players directly affected by this.
Lost in this major news, of course, is Betemit who, as has been covered and discussed extensively on SSS, has been awful. With Jeff Marquez on Charlotte's disabled list with bone chips in his throwing elbow and Jhonny Nunez being merely acceptable at Birmingham, the return from the Nick Swisher trade has been unimpressive so far. Betemit may draw interest as a waiver claim due to his past status as a top prospect.
Josh Fields will also be working out at first base as he is likely now the backup to Paul Konerko. Fields did not speak to the media after the game.

You should not trade away a guy hitting over .850 , fields pretty well for a corner OF, and is pretty young and afordable for a (bad) utility player, and two fringe prospect (not to meantion throwing in a similarly fringe prospect)

I am glad you are on board to an extent, if you are on board it means you believe he will be able to contribute. How much IYO does this retard his growth? How many at bats do you think he’ll need to continue to develope? IMO either you have it, or you don’t. ;)

i don't think this retards his growth much, if at all
certainly not with the bat. he’s fine offensively. defensively, there may be some adventures. we’re now well past the service time date when he could have potentially been a super two in arbitration so my primary objection to him being on the team is gone. his play in the minors answered all the questions about his readiness for the majors.

I have not given up on Fields just yet, he showed way too much power to give up on him. I don’t think his future is at 3B though, he carves it up over there. Well as long as this does not negatively impact the sox financially, I see no reason why we shouldn’t give him a shot. Even if he is the 25th guy on the roster, he is an upgrade over Bridge and Buttermit.

I believe one of teh conditions of his promotion
is he get married within the month. It’s a family-oriented team, after all. And I believe it was the players mandating it – no one wants to experience a Cowley’s wife-like situation.
And it would be no one’s fault – he is like Jim Morrison. I just hope the guys can keep to themselves in the shower. He’s THAT magnetic.

Injury? Or because of 2 weak ABs?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy
It’s been a long time since the Sox brought up a stud prospect in the middle of the season. Help me with my memory, but the last prospect who came up with such hype during the season was Big Frank wasn’t it? 20yrs is a loooooooooong time, would be awesome if he hits the ground running like Frank did – Frank was a total fucking beast when he first came up.
Coach says he needs more toughness. I gotta step up.

Me thinks Beckham will spiritually heal Q! upon his arrival
and then float out of the room into the batting cages and when his magical bat hits the ball the sound will be reminiscent of the sound made from Ted Williams, when his bat hit the ball (or Yaz). There will almost be a cracklin’ of a firecracker during each swing, the clouds will open to blue skies and sun, the birds will churp around the ballpark in unison as they will know that this is the chosen one. The fans, they will come Ray…oh yes, they will come.
They’ll come to the Cell for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up in the parking lot not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at at the gate as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, the ushers won’t mind if you look around, they’ll say. It’s only $50 per person. They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball, Yaz, and cheap beer. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh… people will come Ray. People will most definitely come to see our savior, Gordon Beckham.

I really hope Q can play again soon and the get Wise off the field
The fact that D. Wise is the starting CF is possibly Williams biggest failure in attempting to assemble a team this year (apart from the execrable Swisher trade). I’d rather have 2009 Pods playing CF than Wise.
I wish the Sox had traded for McLouth, flawed though he may be. CF is a hole that needs to be filled for this and the next 2 years, and there’s no one in the org right now that can do it. Wiliams needs to trade for someone.

He’s not the starting CF, Brian Anderson is, and will probably platoon with Pods the rest of the way. Wise will be gone as soon as Q is back. This is like people worrying about Lillibridge, when it was clear as soon as Nix was healthy he’d be gone.

Gordon Beckham: The White Sox organization has promoted a few rookies to the big league club in recent days (including LHP Wes Whisler, who could be the next Micah Owings, given his college hitting skills). Beckham, though, is the club’s top prospect and was its first-round selection from the 2008 draft. Signed as a shortstop, he showed the ability to handle third base, which encouraged the big league club to promote him to the Majors. Beckham began the 2009 season in double-A and hit .299/.366/.497 in 38 games. He then spent just six games in triple-A (.458 average) before receiving the call to the Majors. His home run power is not fully developed yet – he had just four homers in double-A, but 17 doubles – so Beckham may show below-average power for a third baseman early on in his career. He can also be a little too aggressive at the plate at times, so big-league pitchers may exploit that weakness. Long-term, though, he has solid potential as either a third baseman or a shortstop and could quickly become the face of the franchise and the team’s leader.

Rush-to-judgment, maybe?
Fer Chrissakes, “just four homers in double-A, but 17 doubles” means he “may show below-average power for a third baseman early on”? Compared to Fields? Or Betemit? And do you think “big-league pitchers may exploit (that) weakness” of being aggressive? “Long-term”?
Take a step back. Breathe. He has a little over 2 MONTHS of MINOR league experience. Let the kid find out the name of the clubhouse boy, first.

it is for fantasy baseball purposes.
of course, as i’ve pointed out above, he seems to blithely ignore park effects. but i’d say the assessment is overall accurate. i find the realism more refreshing than calling him the savior.

When you have walked in the desert of Sox draft picks over the many years
a little hyperbole is acceptable. And your tempering the assessment with a gentle reminder it is “fantasy” projecting makes it more palatable.

Here Come The Prospects!
Gordon Beckham, 3B, White Sox (Triple-A Charlotte)
Wednesday’s stats: 3-for-5, 2 2B
Beckham has a quality swan song on Wednesday, possibly finishing his International League career with a .464 batting average (13-for-28) while the White Sox were distributing a press release about his ascension to the big leagues while Wilson Betemit was designated for assignment. But that was really just part of what was a borderline historic day potentially, as three elite-level prospects got the call on the same day, as Nate McClouth’s departure meant an opportunity in Pittsburgh for Andrew McCutchen, and the release of Tom Glavine means Tommy Hanson makes his big league debut for the Braves on Saturday. Big day for fantasy players, maybe even bigger for the fans of the respective teams. .

I was speaking of an immediate impact.
No one reasonably expected the Bridge to amount to anything, but that’s the only ML return so far. McLouth would’ve shown immediate results and plugged an immediate gaping hoole, not one that is appearing next year or 2011.
Otherwise, I have no problem with the trade. I just would prefer to have plugged the CF hole for the next 5-7 years.

Beckham to get most playing time at 3B
What does this mean for Josh Fields? On a short-term basis, Williams and manager Ozzie Guillen said Fields will play third when Beckham gives Alexei Ramirez a break at shortstop, spell Jim Thome as the designated hitter on occasion and back up Paul Konerko at first base.
Beckham will wear No. 15 and has a locker next to teammate Chris Getz, who was amazed at the media attention Beckham received.

It’s hard to find a place that doesn’t go overboard on the sugar.
Trying to remember if Roseangela’s (95th) also has a sweet sauce. We haven’t eaten there as a group yet, but I have been there before and I recall a sweet sauce. Maybe I should start tagging stuff with sweet sauce, because I have gotten emails about people that really like it even though we are in the minority overall.
Maybe Falco’s? again, we went there before we had a blog, so we need to revisit it. I don’t have any notes on it.
