I would select Beckham, there are not too many SS capable of belting 30 dingers.

He crushed College pitching last year. Signed, had a cup of coffee with the White Sox A level affiliate than played in the Arizona Fall League and did very well. He will probably start the year in AA, but has the hitting ability to be a mid/late season callup and contribute this year.

The sox seem to have Lillibridge ahead of him though. It has to be one of those two though. The other two are blocked for awhile baring any trades or injuries.

But it won't change this year or probably not next. If they have to rush someone why do it to the better prospect? The White Sox aren't serious contenders, they are going to bring Beckman up properly through the minors and let him develop, he's just a baby man.

Most so called experts have been saying that Beckham should be one of the quickest bats to get to the majors from that draft. The fact that the sox aren't very good makes me think that they will rush him faster than they should. They haven't shown themselves to be the ever frustrating TB Rays.

The question was not who will be the best player, the question was who will make the quickest impact. I think Lillibridge is most likely to have an everyday job before the other three.

Exactly, impact. I dont believe Lillibridge will come close to resembling an impact player. Gordon stands the best chance here.
