Community Projection Results: Gordon Beckham

by The Cheat on Mar 28, 2010 11:05 PM CDT

Yep, he walks on water

I would expect a season like that would have him as the White Sox most valuable bat, and as a (hopefully fine defensive) second baseman have him receiving more than a handful of MVP votes.

Carlos Quentin will have to be next. Somehow I doubt he eclipses the nearly 600 at-bats of .854 OPS projected by you guys for Beckham.

Anyway, here's the full data. Don't stare at it too long, you might get a contact high.

I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs. I want production.

My sketchbook contains a drawing of this poster hanging in Greg Walker's office.

I won't give Quentin more than 600 at-bats

but I sure will project him for a higher OPS than .854

Beckham

I love looking at the highs for this…. 13 triples hsa..? 30 steals …. 60 doubles….

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

I did the same thing with the HRs.

I liked how El Guapo has him having Chase Utleys 2009 or thereabouts.

I couldn't decide whether to go with Hanley or Chase at age 21.

“Gurtman has designed a version for President Obama and the first lady, with pictures of the first family and readings that tell the story of freedom from slavery to the American civil rights movement. The book’s cover is a photograph of the Obamas hosting a White House Seder last year, and Gurtman sent 30 copies to the president in the hope that he will use it at a celebration this year.”
