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.
Says Meche in response: "Oh no you didn'!"

No need to rehash how Meche spurned the Blue Jays' advances or how Toronto
general manager J.P. Ricciardi said a few days later that it might have
meant Meche had no stomach for the hurly-burly of the American League
East.
The Blue Jays might have "dodged a bullet," Ricciardi said back
then. "When you're talking to a guy about coming to a place that's very
close to winning, and he's telling you how important it is to him — and then
he chooses a place like [Kansas City], that might have been an eye-opener
for us. We're trying to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox, so we need
guys who want to compete against those guys."
