I know it’s early and you probably haven’t had your cup, or
pot, of coffee yet but raise your hand if you’re tired of the defensive
liability that Carlos Beltran has become in right field? I had to put my hand
down to finish typing out this post but trust me I’m right there along with
you. I’m real big on bringing the best 25 players with you in order to win
games regardless of the backs of their baseball cards, their number of years in
the league, their salaries etc. Now with that mindset we wouldn’t have Beltran
batting fifth every night and we wouldn’t have him in right field anymore. It
might be Heathcott when he returned or it could be Mason Williams, Ramon Flores
or even Aaron Judge but it definitely would not be Beltran.
Judge would likely be the lowest man on that totem pole
since he hasn’t played about Double-A but as a polished college bat you expect
him to move through the system rather quickly. On many teams this batting line
would at least be in Triple-A by now, and any time now I expect that call to
come from the Yankees, or he may even be in the majors by now on other teams.
So is the curse of being a Yankees prospect. With stats like these the team is
not going to be able to justify keeping him down much longer, especially with
Beltran letting easy pop flies and east fastballs get by him on the regular.
