Hopefully in this series we won't need Beltre but they always give us trouble. And a four game series away is hard to win.
If it's me, Beltre goes on the DL. I know he's one tough sumbitch and the leader of the team, but I don't want this shit nagging all year. Rest up while the team is kicking ass.
Never want to lose Beltre but timing is correct. Need him Sept/Oct.
They should rethink whatever it is that gives them that prediction. Numbers plugged into a formula are only as good as the theory behind the formula.And yet Fangraphs still not budging much on predictions. Looks like at least a 90 win team to me
It is nice to see that DeShields has his average up to about .300 and he hit a double and a HR today. The way injuries plague this team at times you never know when he might be needed. If anything it gets his trade value up a little as well.
With Choo coming back. Have to think like it or not Rua playing time is about to shrink. He is the best LF on team too. If we lose Prince at some point then Choo can DH. Not sure how much platooning Rua gets between LF and 1B. And Profar in the mix. Have to think Rua is going to be emergency CF. Roster spot is too valuable

True. Profar is going to squeeze Rua too.
