figured out that this is who Beltre is post-steroids. He'll be good for 20-25hr and good defense and thats it. You also have to be mindful of how the bodies of the ex-steroid users have broken down, ala Pudge/Maguire/etc.

Can you see someone giving Beltre more than 2 or 3 years?

Id give him 2yrs at 16mil, and extra 4mil (20 total) with incentives.

        Beltre at 2yr/$16M would be a move made by the old Sabean - Hawk_941 2009-12-05 10:35:35 (117 views)
        
        Well, im thinking NJ will get around 6per. Id pay an extra mil or two per year (short term) to get - Psyched 2009-12-05 11:08:59 (118 views)
        
        He's just a huge risk at that price after the season he just had - Hawk_941 2009-12-05 11:29:59 (82 views)
        
        If you believe defensive metrics, he was still worth >8mil, even with the poor season - microwave donut 2009-12-07 10:21:33 (62 views)
        
        He wasn't even the best defensive catcher on the Giants last season. - Hawk_941 2009-12-07 13:29:42 (97 views)
        
        I meant Beltre - microwave donut 2009-12-07 13:41:57 (60 views)

        For the amount Boras is asking for, they're better off passing on him - glass half empty 2009-12-05 11:46:51 (60 views)
