beltran

three of his top five seasons have been with the mets:

2nd best season = 2006 = 7.6 WAR
3rd best season = 2008 = 7.0 WAR
5th best season = 2007 = 5.5 WAR

if beltran can put up two more plus-6.0 WAR seasons, i don’t think there can be any doubt that he lived up to his contract with the mets.

So the other day I was watching Prime 9 CF on the MLB Network and Edmonds was 8th. Beltran was not on the list. Neither was Andruw Jones. I thought this was ridiculous. However, after reading through the comments of the linked post, I must stand corrected. I guess that was a little East Coast Bias on my part. Edmonds was pretty freaking ridiculous.

I still think Beltran eventually catches him in total WAR, but much props to Mr. Edmonds.

That also caught me off-guard a bit

Most of what I always saw of Edmonds during his prime were the SportsCenter highlight catches; I never had the chance to watch him patrol centerfield on a regular basis.

I’ll continue to believe, however, that Voltron will end up with the superior career when it’s over.
