I'm happy for Beltran
He was a marvelous player. Few center fielders were as strong in all five traditional scouting tools.
Beltran won Gold Gloves. He led his league in assists.
He hit homers, stole bases and drew walks.
One of the highest peak WAR7 totals for any center fielder ever.

Carlos Beltrán is one of five players in AL/NL history to have at least 400 home runs and 300 stolen bases. 🔥

Happy 10th anniversary season to the last time a Central club won a pennant!
The last World Series to feature a Central team was 2016 and the Cubs-Indians matchup.

Guardians fans . . . I recently wrote about former Mets LHP prospect Franklin Gomez
He bumped his velocity markedly in 2025 and has an interesting pitch package.
I can't believe I just typed "pitch package."

Velocity Boost Helps Put Mets' Franklin Gomez On The Map
Venezuelan lefthander Franklin Gomez has always had good feel for his pitchers, but until 2025 he had lacked the type of power to capture scouts' attention. That is beginning to change.
