First-year White Sox third baseman Gordon Beckham said he will work on being a lot stronger and more prepared in 2010 after being named The Sporting News’ American League rookie of the year on Tuesday. Beckham said he will hit the weight room in hopes of taking advantage of U.S. Cellular Field’s short fences. The 23-year-old infielder hit 14 home runs in 103 games in 2009, and hopes to be able to hit more home runs to all fields next season.
