He certainly was not a favorite of mine and I certainly would not put it past him that he did in fact take his time coming back. I think it’s absolutely possible that he could have turned it one WHEN HE WANTED during contract time. I think most likely he did.
He was also a CLUTCH hitter and a go to guy during the 2006-2008 runs. I’ve said a million times too. I’ve also said people like him and Delgado, for all the times they went hiding from the press during losses those years leaving guys like Wright & LoDuca to speak – they were ALSO the leaders of those teams too

I’m only interested in winning and I have 2 favorites now that I am absolutely prejudiced towards..and that’s Ike Davis & Ruben Tejada..but if either one of them acted up i would rip them a new one as well. There were many times i wanted to kick my TV in at the way Ike was flailing at the ball earlier in the year but i’m also smart enough to know he is still developing and ALSO came off a serious season ending injury last year and had a serious condition this spring. NOBODY here knows how much that could have contributed to his early season woes, as well as Dave Hudgen’s (The Taking Coach not the hitting coach) could have affected him. Anybody who signs off on Davis NOW..while all this is in plays simply does not have any foresight or any knowledge on how to predict and give a strong opinion on how a player will project – without looking at any periodicals like I do.

Anyway back to the point. Just because I’ve changed my mind over the years on Beltran does not take away from the fact that without him there is no Wheeler.

Bye.

Upset? Not at all. My comment was used as sarcasm and poked fun at dimwits who liked to use it every chance they got at specific kids who struggled. It doesn’t surprise me that you were too slow (as usual) to catch that. You would be one to know about baseless & ridiculous comments since whenever you are outclassed & outsmarted by people like say, Connor, you have to stoop down to that and attack one’s character/age.

As far as Alderson being a quitter, is he the quitter or are the guys holding him to a $15 million budget in the winter the quitter(s)? Sure, he has blame for doing nothing when we needed help in June, but wasn’t that the same case for years when Omar did nothing as well?

By the way, don’t even sit there and kiss Beltran’s ass when you hated his guts when he went and got his knee fixed up before Spring Training after Omar pushed him back so soon in a lost season. Ironically, it wasn’t until Alderson came in and it being Beltran’s last year you praised him. Coincidence? You are as phony as can be.

On the other hand Sandy has left NO positive impact on this team whatsoever outside of maybe a bench player or 2 and in his 2nd year is getting called out as a quitter – which he is – so – thanks for NOTHING, Sandy

And sorry that you are upset that it’s TRUE. Beltran was signed by Omar and without that – there is no Wheeler.
