Two years into a five-year, $64 million contract, Adrian Beltre has produced a .262 average, 44 home runs, and 176 RBIs. However, after the All Star break in 2006, Beltre slugged .552 with a whopping 18 home runs. Does this strong second half bode well for a turn-around in 2007, or will Mariners fans have to deal with 'A-Drain' once again? This blog intends to follow the 2007 season for Adrian Beltre, and the Seattle Mariners, and promises to hold no punches.
Guess who's hit three home runs in the last five games?

That's right, it's my boy Adrian Beltre. Putting the Bad-Ass in Bad Bad Beltre, so it appears.
AB couldn't stop the trend of the Oakland A's making the Mariners their personal bitches, but here's his line over the past five games:
AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BB SO AVG OBP SLG OPS
18 3 4 0 0 3 7 0 3 4 .222 .333 .722 1.055
Though it's nice to see a slugging average 500 points higher than a batting average, it does kind of suck to see AB hitting just .222. That probably provides an insight as to how AB couldn't help the M's beat the A's, power surge or no. Still, seven RBIs on three home runs probably means that he was able to knock them with runners on, which is quite a change from his struggles earlier in the year with runners on.
After the A's fiasco, the M's took the first one from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, with AB knocking a two-run home-run. Jae Seo takes the mound for the D-Rays in tonight's ballgame, and AB holds a whopping 2.190 lifetime OPS against Seo. So things are looking promising for Beltre to continue his power surge...
