Gordon Beckham

Every blog focuses on a specific issue they find particularly interesting.  For today’s post, I chose to focus on a post from the website www.southsidesox.com In a recent post, they discussed Gordon Beckham and the recent return of his leg kick, following a successful game.  Beckham has been struggling lately, and he knows that if he does not perform, there may not be a spot for him on the roster in the future. In the article by Jim Margalus, he says that although after having two days rest, and having a successful game that does not mean that Beckham has completely turned around.  There are still a lot of kinks to work out and he has a long way to go.  I agree with Margalus when says that the kick is a good sign, but he also had that leg kick when he was not performing in the past.  Beckham’s performance is a very hot topic right now, as he struggles at the plate many analysts and fan worry that he may never return to his rookie season status. Margalus does an excellent job of analyzing Beckham’s swing and even provides pictures of Beckham batting in slow motion.  I believe this blog is a very beneficial site to readers, whether you are a Chicago White Sox fan or not.  Writers like Margalus say it like it is, and are not afraid to say when players like Beckham need to step up and take some responsibility for their current performance on the field.
