Beltran was 4.4 rWAR and 4.7 fWAR last year. Yeah, the 1 WAR part was only with his time with the Giants. my bad. also, I have no idea what the [expletive] rWAR or fWAR mean, but anywho.....
The Brewers were 6 games above their pythagorean record last year. Fielder was a ~5 WAR player. Ramirez was the only decent addition to the lineup. The Cardinals were 2 games above their pythag and Pujols was also a ~ 5 WAR player. Beltran was only a 1 WAR player last year and is 34 years old.
cause it's a great story? it WAS a great story. now he's just an okay player if people like him, great. i just don't understand the people who are relishing his failures or are upset that he's padding his stats
Saw an unconfirmed report that the Redskins have traded up to #2 and will pick RG3 ETA: so unconfirmed that no one is picking up on it. Nothing to see here
How is it that so many people consider Deng to be just an okay player? Is Howard enough of an upgrade over Noah to make up for the downgrade at SF by losing Deng?
