April 7, 200422 yr Beltre's mad Boohoo! Hit around .200 for 5 years and it will happen. You baby. Dodgers: Beltre angered by move to the seventh spot by Fanball Staff - Fanball.com Tuesday, April 6, 2004 News The acquisition of Milton Bradley on the day before the opener meant Dodgers manager Jim Tracy had some shuffling to do. Shawn Green moved from right field to first base, David Roberts switched from center field to left field, and Juan Encarnacion moved from left to right field. The trade also resulted in a change in the batting order—one that did not sit well with third baseman Adrian Beltre, who found out Monday that he was dropping from third to seventh. "I'm not happy about this," Beltre told the Los Angeles Times. "I was told I was hitting third the whole spring, then I get here this morning and find out I'm hitting seventh." Beltre reportedly had a heated exchange with Tracy during batting practice. "I've been waiting for this day for four months. I get out of my house, and I'm happy. I've been thinking all this time about this. This is how he tells me? Like I said, I'm not happy."
April 7, 200422 yr I have a feeling Tracy is going to be canned by the end of the season. I have a feeling you're right.
April 7, 200422 yr This would go into the STFU category... Beltre and Bradley ought get along real well
April 7, 200422 yr Too bad he hasn't put his potential together yet. I'll gladly take Crede over that dude any day of the week.
April 7, 200422 yr I would take Crede also..I'm just saying I could see him hitting .290/30/100 rbis...
April 7, 200422 yr Very balenced numbers.. He just needs to work on not chasing pitches out of the zone.
