“He just keeps getting better with age”

 

“34 yrs old and has history of injuries, but when healthy he is a stud”

 

“When will he start to fade? If not this year when? Extreme consistency makes me willing to gamble every year until that sharp decline eventually happens. Don't fret. He's a beast”

 

“Averaging .314/32/103/87 in 3 seasons since exiting Seattle”

 

“Beltre continues to get better, even at 33 years old. It doesn't hurt that he plays in that ballpark with those teammates, either.”

“Teixeira is simply not the .300 hitter he once was. That said, he's still got major power and lots of runners to bat in with the Yankees.”

“There are not many 3B options as good as Adrian Beltre. Being the center piece of the Rangers, he could likely thrive to a new level of success. He hit .321 with 36 HRs and 102 RBIs. He is rock solid every year with Texas, and you should draft him with confidence that he will be a rock.”

“Tex Mex was never himself last season. He had a terrible cold throughout the start of the year, he was banged up and missed nearly 40 games. Despite all this, he still managed 24 HR and 83 RBI, and there is no reason to think he will not get 30/100 in that ballpark as long as he remains healthy.”

“If you?re looking for Cabrera-like production at a lower price but with a bit more risk, then Beltre is your man. ”
