I just joined this forum solely because I came across this thread and felt warm and fuzzy.
And because Adrian Beltre just had a monster game and I love rubbing it in the face of his detractors.
Remember everyone, if you're Brooks Robinson, and have a 104 career OPS+ and great defense, you are a demigod. If you are Adrian Beltre, have a 105 OPS+ and great defense, but made a lot of money after hitting 48 HR in a season, you suck.
I was thrilled as hell when we signed this guy, and I love that he's reaffirming my trust.
