I think Beckham is the OD SS in 2019.  

Dude needs to get his fielding together though, he is atrocious.  But if he hits better at SS he still could be a decent player with 20 homer potential. 

I don't view him as a long term solution by any stretch, he is a stopgap until we're able to acquire someone better or develop someone internally.

2nd error tonight, 12th in 21 games at short.

O's have a decision to make. He's making $3.35mm this year. Will they pay him $4mm or more next year and hope his fielding improves?

Beckham with three terrible fundamental plays this game. It’s almost like the Rays know something.

They know they should have drafted Posey.

Forgot we took Matusz over Posey.

This guy is a disgrace in the field. Absolutely horrible fundamentals.

Buck and his coaches have had over a year now to work with him.

There is no way in hell he is the starting SS next year. 

[eddie83]

He was not this bad last year.  I mean he had his issues but nothing like this.

It seems the shift to 3B and back to SS has messed Beckham up real good.  

Beckham made boneheaded plays last year, but he wasn’t worst defensive SS in MLB bad.

Oh there's a way alright, I just hope the O's come to their senses beforehand.

Worst case scenario opening day lineup has Beckham at SS, Davis 1B, Mancini LF and Trumbo RF.

That would go a long way in helping to secure a number 1 pick though.
