Dude might have some tread on the tires. Adrian Beltre didn’t exactly flourish in Seattle. Got a fat paycheck, set for life, now it’s time for a new gig and to get serious or retire. Might fit as a backup to a backup in the AL.

Backup to Izturis at 2B, Jose Reyes at SS and Brett Lawrie at 3B? The fact is, if the price is right, not a bad idea to have him compete for the starting gig at 2B.

He was at his best when he was playing 4 or 5 different positions a week. Maybe that’s what brought out the best in him. It was a crazy ass signing in the first place. He was one of the best full time utility players ever but that was a little nuts.

True, he could play for the Bee’s and hit cleanup behind Shane “Downtown Anderson” Vendrell…or Boyd Crowder if you prefer.

Curious, has retained any of his defensive value? If yes, he could be a cheap but useful bench piece for a lot of teams.

He’d still be an upgrade for the Twins at 3B.

Yeah! Amaro succeeds Gillick, writes tons of checks and cannot replicate success of 2008, but is the greatest GM ever! Let’s interject him into every comment thread!

Braves. He’s from, and still lives in, Georgia.

I bet they were hoping that LA Dodgers would do them a favor and snatch him up! Hey, throw in King Felix and it’s a done deal.

He’s gotta be better the Martinez coming off the bench…bring him aboard for the minimum!

“Hello Chone, Rube here. We have nice platoon setup for you here in Philly.”
