Lakeland, Fla. — Gordon Beckham has asked himself some very difficult questions the last couple of years. Spending the bulk of two seasons in Triple-A after turning 30 will do that to a player, especially one who got to the big leagues and had success less than a year after he was drafted.
Questions like, What the heck am I doing with my life? Do I even like this game anymore?
“I got a lot of perspective over the last two years,” said Beckham, who is making a serious bid to make the Tigers opening day roster as the second utility player.
