i think it was steve rosenbloom over here in chicago, from the tribune, that said those awful, awful things about “bacon” (beckham…that’s what a lot of people over here are calling him).

Elvis Andrus looks like a younger Ozzie Guillen. My vote goes to Beckham, who can rake. Folks who supposedly called him a bust after a surprising promotion and less than a year as a pro likely deserve to be banned from all communication devices.

I know you article is trying to drum up some interest but this is no contest. Elvis Andrus and what he brings to the table defensively can’t be underestimated to what he has meant to the Ranger pitchers, just compare the WAR and value figures.

Baseball prospectus said he is a rookie. Most of his 2008 playing time came in september which if I recall does not count.

Reimold and Beckham have almost identical ISO and wOBA averages, but in the areas that ROY voters care about (BA, OPS, ect) Beckham is the clear winner. Factor in the division race, and Beckham has the upper hand.

Ricky Romero too. I feel like he’s a guy who will get a ton of votes.
