Adrian Beltre hits for the cycle

[obxyankeefan]

And its only the fifth inning. Still has a chance for more.

One of only four players in history to hit for the cycle three times and the only one to have all three in the same ballpark.

Josh Hamilton to the Angels. Meets Albert Pujols. Gets really good drugs. Brings them back to Arlington. Gets Beltre upgraded.

Beltre is untouchable. I don't think you can find a better example of what a big leaguer should be in baseball right now.

Oh, I think that'd be real easy.

I know I'm gonna regret this, but who?

There was a time when Beltre was my favorite player on the Dodgers.

God, dammit.

Getting out of pitcher-friendly ballparks did him some good.

Wish the Red Sox actually opened their wallets for him instead of going the way the did

Wouldnt give Beltre 6/96 much better to give Fatboy 5/95

you think so? Fatboy won't be able to play the field in a couple of years, gloried DH just like Hanley

Beltre's been worth 28.8 WAR over the course of his contract. He's got a 134 OPS+ while playing the usual sexy defense at a pretty demanding position. If anything, Beltre's been an absolute bargain.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Beltre and Andrus are my favourite couple ever.

According to fangraphs the top 5 Hitters values since 2011 and their actual cost Figures include this year so values may go up some

Trout value 263 mil cost 7.5 mil
mccutchen 227 24
Miggy 211 106
Alex Gordon 184 39 Who says D isnt worth alot
Beltre 181 68

the big losers

Howard 8 mil cost 110
crawford 40 97
Uggla 38 61
Arod 68 114

Congrats to him, he's always been such a good player.

No kidding. You're absolutely right about that. Seattle was not a good place for his home run stats, but looking back he did better than I remember thinking at the time. But back then, I didn't know anything about SABR stats.

That 2004 season with the Dodgers though... Good lord...

Beltre and Andrus are my favourite couple ever.

I'm obviously a homer, but Ryu/Uribe was the best while it lasted. They don't even speak a single word of each others languanges. But yeah, Andrus and Beltre are hilarious. Every clip of them together is gold.
