You have to admit I'm right on this one. Beltre has indeed been our best non-Ichiro hitter since mid-May and he's also the only good gove we have on the infield. We need Beltre...if we're going to win the west...we need Beltre hitting and fielding and we need to find bats at other positiosn. Branyan is in at first, but I'd have Carp DHing and Griffey and Chavez splitting left field at a minimum. If Carp doesn't succeed early on (which I doubt...I think Carp will hit and hit quickly) well we've got Clement heating it up in AAA.
Another move I'd make immediately would be DFA'ing Sweeney and calling up Chris Shelton. I know everyone loves Sweeney but the man cannot hit...he's done. We need a better right handed bat off the bench.
