Am I the only idiot still w/Beltre?

Postby ZAZ » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:46 pm

0-7 as I type this on the day for Beltre. I know he's a "slow starter" but this is ridiculous. Am I the only idiot with this guy still on their team?? I see a 3B player in single A on the WW which would probably be better for my team at this point! Anyone think he will turn this horrid batting around very soon???

You were fooling yourself if you thought Beltre would help your team's BA. His good for 20 HRs and maybe 10 steals - every other category he will either be a liability or just won't help you.

Those numbers still play in AL Only leagues and deep mixers, but if you are still holding onto him in a 10 team mixer 5x5, I have one thing to say: he isn't a Dodger anymore and won't ever come close to his near-MVP year - give up the dream already.

I think fern is a little off in his analysis.... Beltre is a solid yet unspectacular guy on any normal year.... if you can stash him on your bench until he snaps out of this, I would not give up just yet.... I wonder if his shoulder is fully healed because no power and a crap AVG is concerning, slow starter or not...

I'd swallow the crappy BA if I could get even one HR in April!

OK vent over but any other thoughts on Beltre here are welcome. Thanks!

You are not the only one, my friend. I was able to enjoy his 0/8 performance today and he will be on a short leash in terms of being on my roster from this point on. I nvr expected him to be a stud, solid is what I was looking for.

well u should see my all slow start/injury team

slow start: hardy, pheralta, hamilton, beltre

anyways, the pt is, he was drafted up there for a reason. he's not gonna jack 50 for you but either he's hurt or he'll go back to .270-.290 and hit 20-30 HR

please help me viewtopic.php?f=26&t=381662&p=3053195#p3053195

I own the guy in a 12 team keeper where we hold 12 over from year to year. I have a stacked offense but no 3B and was hoping he may be able to produce some kind of value. Well after today's showing his sorry butt is off of my team. I was hoping for somewehre around .260 with a little pop and he's not even close. I've seen a few of his AB's and he just looks awful. I've only seen him hit little dribblers, pop-ups, or strikeout. I'm sure he'll manage to have a somewhat palitable year, but he can do it for soembody else. I'm sick of him.

Note to self: start threads bitchin about the perfomance of all your bad players.

Right now Beltre is 3-3 with a SB and RBI after last night's whining post! ;-D :-D ;-D
