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.
The Mariners acquired right-hander Jason Davis today from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named. Does this all but guarantee Julio Mateo will be DFA'd?
Davis' ERA stands at 4.76 on the season, increasing more than four times in his last two appearances from 1.13. The 2007 Baseball Prospectus (which does not carry an entry on Adrian Beltre, by the way) states that Davis throws hard, yet still manages to find bats.
Sounds like a perfect addition to the M's bullpen....
