Thus far the acquisition of Beltre has been a bust. His acquisition has created a logjam at 1st and 3rd forcing VMart to catch too much. He has not hit a HR yet, as he flails away at the plate with no plate discipline. He has already made a few fielding errors, and there have been a few bonehead plays to like not covering 3B on a ball fielded by Lester and getting thrown out at 2B when the team was behind and needed to start a rally. The worst thing he has done has been to knock our leadoff hitter and offensive catalyst out of the lineup by running into him on a ball that was clearly Ellsbury's that he was calling all the way. The worst part is that we will probably be stuck with him next season.
