Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a prospect like Beckham (sans Blagojevich hairdo), but it is quite funny how he is penciled in for instant all-star production after barely a full season. Now, there is a point to be made that a productive 2B is much more valuable and more rare than a productive 1B, so I can see the reasoning behind those who say that trading a package of players including Beckham is a lot in exchange for Gonzalez, especially when you factor in that he would walk after 2 seasons. Then agan, it's insane to assume anything about a young player with less than one year of experience.
And Boers was poopooing the Red Sox offer of Bucholtz and others for Gonzalez as if their system was crap compared to theirs. Please...
