I recently heard Rock call Gordon Beckham a 'prospect'. A player that has reached the highest level of baseball is no longer considered a 'prospect' let alone a player that has been there for almost 2 years. You can discuss what type of impact he'll have as a major leaguer but calling him a 'prospect' is insulting and wrong.

How much of a resume do we have on Gordon Beckham??

Do we know what he brings to a mlb club?

It's not insulting or wrong at all in my mind.....because we still don't know what he is yet.

Here's some wisdom from John circa, March of last year:

Quote:

Would it be smart for the Bears to look into Jay Cutler?? Of course it is!! They won't. Why is it so hard for Bears fans to admit that this team just does not go after the big fish/splash/or whatever word you want to associate with a top name free agent.

He learned his prognostication skills from his former boss, Mikey Nort, it appears.

Same thing with the misogyny as well.

Although I don't listen to John's show, I do appreciate his irony as it manifests itself in the weight-loss treatment that he endorses.

At the time....did the Bears ever go after the "big fish"?

Everyone is wrong with predictions at some point. I based my opinion of the regime in place and their history. I guess when they brought in Kordell Stewart or Moose Muhammad....those were "big fish"?

Obviously you think they were.

We know exactly what he is, an everyday major league baseball player. The term 'prospect' refers to a player that has the potential to be an everyday baseball player but has yet to reach that point. If using the term incorrectly is ok in your mind that's fine but it doesn't help your credibility as a sports talk show host.

Actually, Muhammad was a big fish at the time they got him. I did my "homework" and saw that he was coming off an All Pro/ Pro Bowl season in which he had over 1400 yards receiving, 16 td's and almost 88 yards per game receiving.

Kordell Stewart I would have said was a "let's see if we can catch lightning in a bottle" guy. Two years before coming to the Bears he led the Steelers to a 13-3 record. The following year he was benched after a 1-3 start in favor of Tommy Maddox. Stewart was released at the end of the year. Funny thing is that when he was with the Bears he was benched in favor of Chris Chandler who eventually gave way to Rex Grossman.

So, one "big fish" and one was the seaweed pulled from the lake.
