Mike Lowell has had one season with a BA over .300, so has Beltre. They both post similar statistics, but Lowell strikes out a bit less, and has better OBP, but Beltre has better D, and at this stage in their careers, hits for more power, not to mention he's getting out of SafeCrap and on to Fenway.
Someone's in denial (and has a double standard here) and it's not me.
