Not much of a pickup really, that guy never lived up to his hype.

I wonder how he'll replace richards.

But he was highly thought of once... I like a team that is proactive with the waver wire..
I am positive I would prefer him coming off the bench then Don Kelly... He can play third and second.

Beckham = $4.175 Mil in 2014

D. Kelly = $1 Mil in 2014

A. Romine = .504 Mil in 2014

Beckham isn't a FA until 2016. He is one high priced slug, even if LAA is only pro rating his salary for the remainder of the year.

No, you wouldn't. He is hitting even WORSE than Kelly, and like Reb pointed out he's making 4x as much. I dont want either of them.

Bullcrap on hitting ... If you want to pass based on money I can see it..
but not hitting...

Kelly cannot pinch hit and hit a homer..


I would take 7 homers and 36 rbis's over what Kelly has any day...
You really like Kelly as a hitter over GB.... That is a damn stretch in a half...LOL


Kelly 0 homers and 5 RBI's in 135 at bats... Batting .242
