Welcome back to the big leagues, Gordon Beckham.
Who?
The Seattle Mariners selected the veteran infielder from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday to take the place of star second baseman Robinson Cano, who was officially placed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured bone in his hand.
Beckham certainly isn’t Cano. But he is a former starting second baseman with the Chicago White Sox.
And of the Mariners options to replace Cano, no player in their organization has started and played as many games at second base as Beckham – not even converted center fielder Dee Gordon.
