I'm trying to figure out who is the biggest bust of the past free agent season so far. Here are my candidates:
Carlos Beltran:
.261 AVG, .315 OBP, 9HR, 38 RBIs, 1SB
Salary: 7 yrs, 119Million, average of 17mil per year.
The big dog of last year's free agent class is having a mediocre year, at best. Considering he stole 42 bases last year and is one pace to steal about 3 this year, you know something is going on. He'll probably bust out in the second half and get his numbers closer to his career averages of .282, .351 OBP, and .486SLG.
Adrian Beltre:
.257, .301OBP, 6HR, 36RBIs
Salary: 5yrs, 65 mil, average of 12.8 mil per year
COming off a monster career year, he's been a total bust for the Mariners so far. No one expected him to have the same season he had last year (48HR, 121 RBIs), but he's been way below his career averages.
Both of these guys have sucked but I guess since Beltran was hyped up so much he's the winner of this one. Any other suggestions? Anyone? Hello?
