Kinsler is slowly coming along as well. Hopefully they make a move to solidify their bullpen.

Kinsler has been doing a GREAT job this season with his patience at bat. he had drawn more than twice as many walks as anyone on the Rangers, and is leading the team in OBP, a much better indicator of plate success than his mediocre looking BA.
been very surprised with Beltre. turns out he's not the contract cuckold we all thought he'd be
still below his contract year in nearly every category. Also we all know what everyone wants from a high priced free agent - 120 games. Nothing says "i'm dedicated" like halfassing your rehab and having a nagging injury all year.
Still stand by everything i said. The Rangers will regret giving Beltre this contractPERIOD
not a good contract by any means, but his value on the team is as high as anyones. his defense and hitting has been amazing, especially considering how on fire he was before the injury, was out for over a month, and comes back without skipping a beat, in fact is hitting even better than he was prior.
on offense, his addition may be the difference maker if the Rangers were to go all the way.
as for the pitching staff, everything rests on Holland and Colby's shoulders. I think the bullpen is fine, while CJ and Harrison both have been the most consistent starting pitchers, and rarely games up.
i say if they win a world series with him being a major part of the teams success, the contract is worth every penny.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh"
-Adrian Beltre, Oakland coliseum, 9/20/11
, ya, they should have gone after Crawford or Werth. Horrible signing by the Rangers. IDIOT
Beltre would be more likely to shout "oh !"![]()
regretPERIOD
Harrison hasn't pitched in the playoffs yet, we all know what happened the last time Holland had to pitch in the playoffs, Ogando's arm is about to fall off, Colby is giving up home runs like they're Halloween candy, and CJ has been solid.
But no, overspending for Cliff Lee was just a stupid idea. What we really needed was to overpay a 3rd baseman who would only give us 3/4 of a season.
You could also see Beltre mouth "oh " (at the very end of the video) when he hit that HR off Felix Hernandez.

^ I think that was more him just screwing around with Felix since they're both friends. You could see him joking with him as he was running the bases (although Felix didn't look happy)
I remember last season an ump ejected Beltre when he was jawing with Hernandez in the dugout in between innings, not knowing that they were joking
Rangers reportedly offered more than the Phillies. Yankees MOST CERTAINLY offered more than the Phillies. Obviously money wasnt the reason for Lee's desicion.
, one of the dumbest posters on ST, period....
