Dutton's latest goes through our options at 2B in his latest article. He says White Sox are asking a lot, as Beckham is young, controllable beyond this season and has been their best player. Wha? He's hitting .302. Yipee. His Babip is an unsustainable .340. Beyond that, his OPS this season is .730, which is with that inflated BA. His OPS the last two years was .668 and .633. Why would we want to give up anything valuable for this guy? Oh yeah, he has 2 home runs this season.
Dutton also references Rickie Weeks' batting average when evaluating his performance. I thought Dutton was smarter than that?
