We projected Ichiro last week and Felix the other day.
You know the deal. How do you think Beltre will do this year? Continue his godly defense and have the offensive year we have always wanted now that he is healthy. Field a little more like a human and maintain his underappreciated hitting. Or revert back to 2005 Beltre who swung at every outside slider given to him. You chose.
