Matt Eddy: While true that Flores' offensive ceiling appears to be higher, Beckham is no slouch. He's got the bat speed, and he's mature enough and coachable enough to develop into a plus offensive player. He reminded one Appy League manager of B.J. Upton at a similar stage in his development.

Yay!

So that means he sucks at SS too?

Arms and legs moving faster than any man should

Mental game not there leading to bad throws. Does that sound about right?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Matt Eddy: Moore’s pitching style compares favorably with Kazmir’s, in that both lefties feature power fastballs and hard breaking balls. Moore is more physical, at 6-2, 205, but each of Kazmir’s pitches is at least a grade higher.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
