Jetsfan80 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Pedro is baseball's version of PennyBoyWonder. :wink: Stick to football, Tx. And yes, Pedro is a lot like Chad Pennington. Injury prone and maybe they come up short in the big game from time to time.....but they also are more than willing to put everything on the line for their teams. I'd rather have a thousand Pedro's and Pennington's who are willing to "shoot up and play" rather than a Randy Moss, John Abraham, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Average player at best No, that would be Bernie Williams. Carlos Beltran is a 5-tool center fielder. Overpaid? How can you define overpaid? What would you say is the value of arguably the best center fielder in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest priced Free Agent last year.....BY FAR Way overpayed for a guy that will hit .280, drive in 90, and hit less than 30 homers ...and you think Jason Giambi is overpayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Jason Giambi, who relies purely on power, Beltran can do a lot of everything. The Mets have never had a center fielder with Beltran's speed, range, baserunning ability, arm, and bat control. Nor have a lot of teams. Granted, Willie Mays did play a year for the Mets back in the 1970's, but he was a shadow of his former self then.

GimmeShelter Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Talk about overpaying.......bwahahahahhahahaahhaaha Average player at best You must of missed the show he put on last post season. Arod is the only Yankee in the same tier as Beltran talent wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 You must of missed the show he put on last post season. Arod is the only Yankee in the same tier as Beltran talent wise. If you are basing it on last postseason then yes you are correct. He was lights out. If you are basing it on last season then AROD, Sheff, Matsui, Jeter might all be better hitters. I am not knocking Beltran. The kid is a star. But he had a bad year and a great postseason. There is no reason that he shouldn't become a star though!
