Final Move

The Boston Red Sox made what is most likely their final move of the post season. Signing Adrian Beltre to a one year deal with an option. He brings excellent defense. But this is just another side step move. They have a great defense in the infield. They Needed some Power. Adrian Beltre will not hit 30 home runs. There is this fantasy that he is such a better hitter away from Seattle. But he will never be the guy he was in 2004. I expect 20 home runs from him. Hopefully he stays healthy. He had an injury plagued season in 2009. So this says to me that Adrian Gonzalez is out of the picture. I guess this really is a bridge year. Hey they have great starting pitching. They didn't give up any big prospects. So there is good from this off season. They will be a playoff team. But I don't see them as a World Series team. At this point, that's what matters most in Boston.
