Comments on: Beltre’s Shoulder http://www.proballnw.com/06-2009/beltres-shoulder/ ESPN-affiliated Seattle Mariners blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: SABR Matt http://www.proballnw.com/06-2009/beltres-shoulder/comment-page-1/#comment-6178 SABR Matt Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:57:09 +0000 http://www.bleedingblueandteal.com/?p=1790#comment-6178 I'm guessing Beltre will be able to continue to hit for solid contact as long as he's in action, but that his power will be way down. I'm also guessing that these bone spurs didn't just appear three days ago and that Beltre's shoulder has been hurting for a long time now, probably explaining Beltre's lack of power this season. Meanwhile, Franklin Gutierrez continues to show flashes of potential mixed in with stretches of frustration on offense...on pace for 20 longballs though, which, given his stellar defense, makes him a solidly above average AL CF. I bring that up as a way of leading into a "woohoo! another 1-run win!" comment. :) I’m guessing Beltre will be able to continue to hit for solid contact as long as he’s in action, but that his power will be way down.
