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.
a few spring training thoughts...
It would seem that bloomquist is playing himself into a starting 2b role, while Lopez is playing his way out....how can you not give the opening day duties to willie the way the two have looked? Perhaps because willie may well be one of the best utility men in the league, therefore making his importance as a late game pinch runner/defensive replacement the reason to keep Lopez as the starter....for now....
Ben Broussard has been knocking the cover off the ball. I think the brass should seriously start considering trading Sexson to a power starved club in exchange for some prospects. Sure, we'd be losing a few homers, but Broussard could easily match or better Sexy's RBI total hitting fourth with a much higher average.
I'm excited to see our pitching staff get going. Five well rounded starters who, if healthy, could consistently go deep into games and be a formidable staff.
Still more than a week away? damn.
