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.
Six Mariner batters got hits in today's spring training game versus the Angels. However, each of those batters got multiple hits, for a total of 13 hits in all as the M's beat the Angels 10-6. The Mariners knocked around Angel starter John Lackey pretty well, roughing him up for nine runs and ten hits in four innings. Felix, meanwhile, picked up his second win of the spring, despite allowing four runs in six innings himself.
The hit parade was led by incoming right fielder Jose Guillen, who had three, followed by Jeremy Reed, Adrian Beltre, Yuniesky Betancourt, Mike Morse, and Jose Lopez, who each had two. Surprisingly, Wille Bloomquist didn't have another four-hit afternoon.
With this mini-hot streak of late, the M's current three-game winning streak has raised their record to 10-15, just in time for the final week of spring training games, in which the competiton will be raised a notch. Most teams have a set roster, and will be playing their regualrs over the enxt week. These last games are less of a "look-see" for managers to se what talent they have to choose from, and more of an opportunity to gauge how their team is doing as they head into the season. The enxt week is the only serious stock I put into spring training...
