“He just keeps getting better with age”

 

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

“tough to trust Pablo now tha he has missed about 100 games total in the last seasons and reports are he has put on more wieght (not a surprise)”

“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”

“Sept/postseason surge (WS MVP) put hammate issue to rest”

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

“Pablo's numbers will be somewhere between good and great. Expect his hands to get stronger and faster as teh season goes on.”

“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.”

“Kung Fu Panda comes into 2013 out of shape, I would pass on him as there are plenty of other players that will hit more HRs and drive in more runs. 20 HR/100 RBI is a dream season at this point.”

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

“He?s had a tough time staying healthy the past two seasons, but a full season projects similar numbers to Zimmerman and A. Ramirez.”
