His home/road splits have gotten worse--his road OPS is .661 vs. .927 at home (.773/.936 last year), even though his HR splits are neutral.<BR/><BR/>Beltre's road OPS is well over .800 (.832 this year, .858 last) the last season and a half.

Hits for power/average, plays great at 3rd and is pretty cheap the next two years. Could easily land him for a couple young guys since the Rockies have Ian Stewart they want to move into that spot.COHunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945140759783311699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350747157402784213.post-79963024922357462782008-06-30T08:21:00.000-05:002008-06-30T08:21:00.000-05:00Well, they did spend $14mm on pure crap this offse...Well, they did spend $14mm on pure crap this offseason. I know it is wishful thinking to expect them to consolidate spending on one legit player instead of a bunch of retreads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350747157402784213.post-31648486781157062072008-06-30T08:03:00.000-05:002008-06-30T08:03:00.000-05:00Could not agree more.

In a shitty division, one player could make all the difference, and as long as you don't move any of the four young pitchers that are up right now, you have to go for it.<BR/><BR/>But if you think the Twins are trading for a guy who makes $12mm a year, you're truly delusional.WWWWWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029975451902509241noreply@blogger.com
