AL West Preview
Published 4/3/2009 by Patrick Sullivan at Baseball Analysts
... Jeremy: Adrian Beltre. Contract year. Not that he needs incentives. Contrary to popular belief, he’s lived up to his contract, as Fangraphs win values say he’s added $6 million in surplus value over the life of his contract. He’s always had a nice glove, and Safeco is probably the hardest park for right handed power hitters in baseball, so I’d expect some smart team to trade for him (The As Rich?) and reap the benefits. ...

Nix nixed; Beckham beckons

... , and played a big part in their best season. But if you tried replicating that series of events with today's finances, you would be an ex-general manager. For their six years of major-league control, the Brewers would have received the worst six-year stretch of Yount's career before he had the chance to entertain larger contracts from other teams. Especially if he happened to time his breakout season as well as Adrian Beltre did. Williams knows his ass would be in a sling if Ozzie Guillen had an opportunity to waste a year by playing Beckham on and off, which is why he ...

The Yankee 3B Conundrum

... behind the plate at times without being quite as awful with the bat as Molina. The two that probably make the most sense : The Full Season Solution : If the Yankees aren’t confident that Rodriguez will be back in 2009 at all (or fear he’ll be back in 9 weeks only to potentially need the full surgery shortly thereafter), the most compatible lineup fit is Adrian Beltre . He’d be expensive both in terms of money and prospects, no doubt, but he’s in the last year of his deal and was earlier rumored to be available at the right price. He’d be a step down in OBP and couldn’t hold ...

Should Adrian Beltre play in the WBC?

... the kind of player Beltre is. You see, in 2004 with the Dodgers, Beltre had one of the greatest contract years of all time. He hit .334 with 48 home runs and was 2nd in the NL MVP voting that season. Just to give you a point of reference, he hasn’t been within 50 points of that average since and the closest he came to the home run mark was the 26 home runs he hit in 2007. Needless to say, he hasn’t been close to winning any AL MVP awards during his stint in Seattle. ...

Adrian Beltre Is All Grown Up

... So not only is Beltre considered a clubhouse leader, but he's also learned the art of the political quote. Although it remains to be seen if he and Ichiro can work past their supposed differences, the comments by Beltre suggest he's much more mature than the callow third baseman who hit 48 home runs for the Dodgers in 2004. (Or when he underwent a ...

... The deals made little sense at the time -- Beltre had a good walk year (2004) after multiple seasons of mediocrity; Sexson is good for 30+ homeruns and 100+ strikeouts; Carlos Silva was given a four-year, $48 million contract (one more year and three less million bucks than Jake Peavy) to not walk guys; Johjima was unproven coming from Japan and after two decent seasons, couldn't remember how to hit a baseball in 2008; and the Bedard deal was bad luck as he's been hurt much of the year. ...

... prospect and lots of salary relief? He wouldn’t be blocking anyone in the Giants’ system. One year of Beltre in ‘09 also keeps the Giants from dipping into the free agent market — lie back and visualize 4 years and $44 M worth of Joe Crede — and it gives them a better option than Castillo or Aurilia (or Denker or Frandsen or Velez). They might even benefit from a contract-year surge. Remember the last time Beltre was on the cusp of free agency? He nearly won the MVP. ...

Trade winds a-blowin'

... ) I don't know about you, but I was shocked to hear that the Twins put in a call to the Seattle Mariners about third baseman Adrian Beltre . The Twins? Calling another team about a high-priced veteran player? Maybe this is a new era for the Twins. Beltre would be an interesting addition. He's never hit much for average (2004 aside), but he hits lefties pretty well (.270 career average) and his 16 home runs would lead the team. He'd certainly help provide some protection for Morneau. And my guess is that his Gold Glove defense is a big selling point for Bill Smith and Gardy. ...

... But Perez is just as game. In the Mets half of the 7th, Perez again walks Baerga and Ordonez, this time with 1 out. Reed hits for himself—perhaps a questionable move—and flies to center. Phillips, again a chance to be the hero in his Mets debut, hits a smash to 3rd, but right at Adrian Beltre, who throws to Eric Young at 2nd for the force. Perez exits after his 7 taut innings and 99 pitches, allowing no runs on 2 hits, and 4 strikeouts, but an unseemly 6 walks that could have undone him, yet didn't. He would not club any water coolers with a baseball bat following this solid ...
