His numbers are very very average.

RobFunk · Jun 29, 2005

Well, at least Pedro is having a good year. I guess if you just keep signing FA's demanding 15 million a yr., you'll find a gem in there somewhere.

I feel bad becuase I really taked Beltran up coming into this season. I even used my 1st rd. pick on the guy. What a dissapointment.

Edgar Renteria...so so year so far , he could still get his average up around .300.

.Rob have the Boston faithful been happy with Edgar?

TomorrowsNewspaper · Jun 29, 2005

I agree about Beltre. Never did like him. Watch for Beltran to have a huge second half. He has been fighting minor injuries (groin,hammy and something else I think) and never really been 100% this season. He is just now getting healthy and I think his talents will shine.

Mark Mulder grade B

He's been solid but not spectacular...Still seems like Mulder may struggle when it really maters most, i don't think he can put the Cards over the top...then again the National League isn't really that ddifficult...

Mulder has been 'typical', he's not a true Ace though...good thing Matt Morris is back!

RobFunk · Jun 29, 2005

I give Mulder a C-, he moved to NL he should be putting up spectacular numbers.

Is the Oakland park really that much of a crutch to all those great A's pitchers?!

I agree Rob, I was being kind giving Mulder a B...with that lineup he should win 20 games...still a B though, he may win 20, I suspect he could break down again in the 2nd half...he will fade some.

Projecting 19-12 4.95 ERA is not what they had in mind, his ERA should be 3.25 tops :icon_conf
