Interesting comment by Beckham just now

"I appreciate Brady Anderson and Dan Duquette bringing me over."    In that order.

I heard that also. It isn't like he has been here awhile and Brady got a chance to know him. Maybe Brady has always been a fan and pushed for him.

As soon as I heard that my ears perked up.

We all know Brady is the next GM right?  Guess the only question is will it be in 2019 or not.

Beckham looks damn good so far. If I only saw these two games, and knew that he was a #1 pick, without looking at his TB stats, I'd be feeling really good right now.

Not to mention a 3B in his second game, given how rare they are in OPACY.

That might mean that Brady was working the Tampa trade while Dan was fielding offers for Britton.

My thought would be that Brady might be a big part of the welcoming committee since they seem to have him interact more with the guys.

He seems like a guy that Brady would love.

Could mean a lot of things. It's possible that Brady made the phone call to him informing him of the trade.

Pretty interesting. I may know more by this afternoon.

Brady and DD are moonlighting as Uber drivers?

I always assumed it took an entire staff to run a ball club. I never once assumed Dan was doing all the work himself. I figured these situations (trades contracts transactions Etc) are operated like "War rooms," with many individuals involved.

I like what Beckham brings so far and that's pretty much what I expected him to bring, despite his meh numbers on the year. Beckham has already lavished praise on the camaraderie in the clubhouse and the energy here, which at this point we know is an actual Real Thing about the Orioles clubs of the last few years, regardless of their success. 

Maybe it's just a end-of-season boost for him and he'll be another De Aza by next year, but he's exactly the type of player that can provide a pick-me-up. I also like that he's wearing the familiar #1 of former spark-plug Roberts. 

He comes advertised as a swing for the fences pull hitter, but all three of his XBH have gone to RCF or RF. Interesting.
