I see him as a great #2 hitter but as soon as he got that price tag it changed what his expectations on what he had to do for his team. This is the classic arguement of the money doesn't dictate his limits, his limit is his limit the price tag was for his past achievements. ham fighter I had chime in here he’s not the 100% at fault but Beltran is a frustrating hitter right now, maybe he’s hurt or something, maybe the # 4 spot is not suited for him all I know is he rows into alot of groundouts and flyouts.

Hmm I'd take Beltran over any of the guys you listed. blaming beltran is not looking at the whole picture. yes the mets need a paul o’neill/erik byrnes/darrin erstadt/youkilis type guy, but beltran doesnt have to be that guy. not everybody needs to be that way, just a few. but the mets dont have any.

IMO, they will end up changing the promotion to include other players. absolutely absurd the way that is currently set up, and they know it! “Clearly, we need to train Giambi to act like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack- “Oh my arm!””

Reports are he can be had without breaking the bank. Before you bring up his injury history, remember Beckett's history with the Marlins, yet, the Red Sox were willing to part with Hanley. How's that worked out for them so far? Harden is better than Beckett, and you wouldn't even have to give up a Hanley-type talent to get him. One thing that can't be debated is his talent. He's by most accounts the most talented pitcher in the majors. Keep an eye on Rich Harden tonight. Reports are he can be had without breaking the bank.
