If anyone comes back Riddle me this Batman. Just read this in the Trib about Kenny Williams talking to Beckham about his hitting. About going back to his set up from last year. Free his hands up and take his hacks, not worry about contract as much as getting a good swing and driving the ball.

Beckham said "It's reassuring and made a lot of sense". He moved his hands back in a more powerful position. Yanna yanna yanna

Now my question. Where's Walker the great hitting coach giving this advice? It takes the GM like a .223 lifetime hitter to come down from the office to show Beckman this? How will Ranger defend this one?



:roll: :roll:

Wow, words can't argue with that kind of dumb if you honestly believe the first piece of hitting advice Beckham received this year is from Kenny Williams

I don't know if Walker ruined Beckham, but he's doubled for the second day in a row. Good advice, I think, by the man who should've put #15 at second base from the getgo!

Well done. But seriously, thank goodness the GM is giving hitting advice because there is no one else to possibly help Beckham.

I believe Mike Shannon's contract was not renewed when the Cards switched from KMOX to their current radio home, sports talker KTRS.

Nope, Shannon's still there, just as drunk as ever. He just doesn't get to broadcast his drunkenness over a 50,000-watt blowtorch anymore.

I actually have to stick up for Rongey here. The caller said something dumb like, "nine out of ten moves KW makes are horrible". And Ranger took issue with that. He pointed out the Rios "deal" as a good one. Certainly Kenny should get credit for that waiver claim. You were going to hang him for it if Rios had been as awful as he was last season.

Joe, there have been a number of trades the White Sox have made that aren't looking so good right now. The Javy Vazquez trade 2 years ago in which Javy was dealt to Atlanta for backup infielder Brent Lillibridge & catcher Tyler Flowers is looking worse by the day, even though Javy was dealt again to the Yankees last winter for Melky Cabrera. The trade of 2B Chris Getz & 3B Joshua Fields to Kansas City for 3B Mark Teahen, currently DL'd with a broken index finger on his throwing hand, doesn't look too good either. The deal that sent OF Nick Swisher to the Yankees for a couple of minor league prospects and backup IF Wilson Betemit (remember him, Sox fans?) appears pretty bad...

SHARK, you forgot to mention that Vazquez was owed 2yr/$23M and Swisher 3yr/$22.05M all of which was paid by the Braves and Yankees. At the time of the trades the prevailing opinion was Kenny would be 'lucky' to find a team to pick up those salaries. Not only did they pick up all the money he received 7 prospects to boot.
