“Beltran can either go the Lance Berkman route and completely fall off the map, or continue his 30+ HR binge which was surprising to see in 2012. I see Carlos continuing his success as he is one of the best hitters in the game today when hot. The SB threat of 30+ is long gone, even 15 would be great. Now Carlos is entering the Alfonso Soriano days.”

“Morales really struggled last season, and going to Seattle is not a magical cure that will help the power come back. Kendrys is still a talented hitter, but that HR potential could drop to 25 being a great season. There are much better players out there.”

“Has seen 520 or more at bats the last two seasons, but injury risk is very high for the 36 yr. old Beltran”

“Kendry?s Morales hit .280 with 4 HR?s and had a top 20 ISO last 30 days of the 2012 season; fences being moved in could turn Safeco into a hitter's park”

 

“He's taking his 14 second-half home runs to Seattle, where he'll get full time at-bats at a Saefco Field with shorter fences. ”
