And by the way, he's not big league ready. His offense clearly needs work as he switches between being a gap to gap hitter who hits for a solid average to a power threat with no plate discipline, and nobody likes anything he does defensively other than his arm. Hopefully that will change this year, but I don't trade a player who's a good bet to at least be a good big league first baseman and possibly a star for a player who's still questionable to stay at shortstop or hit consistently anyway. @DevonRogers I feel like the Rays don’t want to trade Beckham before he makes the big leagues and admit without a doubt that he was the wrong choice with the 1st overall pick in 2008.
