Odd career. He was considered an underachiever with LA til his last year there. Then his career was stagnant and irrelevant playing in big ass Seattle. Then the 8 last years have been amazing. Probably the third best player this decade behind Trout and Miggy.
It's funny that even after all of these years whenever I see an article about Beltre the comment section is filled with :mad: Dodger fans.

Dude would always peak when it was time for a new contract and then he finally put it all together. shyt was strange as hell because I though he was just motivated by money.

When L.A. let him walk I didn't even care because it was like "contract year numbers" :manny:

Then he dropped off and it looked like he would be and underachiever but then he got to Texas and somehow "grew up" I guess. Congrats to him though

Low key his last 2 healthy years in seattle were solid (+ Gold Glove Defense at third). That one year in Boston was what really made him legit and he hasn't let up since.

Don't Believe the Hype
If there was $10,000 on the table for me to guess correctly (within 500 hits) where Beltre was in his career, I woldn't have won.

:salute: the breh!
