  1. Did anyone ever put our predictions on a spreadsheet? I think I'm 3 for 3 and riding Cleveland and Cubs too.

      1. He has one more year on his contract. He will be 38 next year and I have to think he might end it then. Then again, he did just have a six-win season at 37. He's a lock to surpass 3000 hits next year. Another year after that could have him top 500 home runs and perhaps 100 rWAR.

        1. I hope Beltré plays a few more years. The glove seems to still be there: UZR/150 has 2016 as his best year since 2012; DRS puts it second-best since 2010. So he shouldn't need to move off third if he doesn't want to shift over to first or DH. He topped .200 ISO for the first time since 2012 and posted his lowest K% since 2011. Barring a pretty precipitous decline for some reason, I think he's got room to gradually decline over several seasons while still being a valuable part of a contender.
