I recall the Mets players and NY press who claimed that Carlos Beltran could make the fans forget about his subpar season if he had a good September. They were just trying to be helpful. They didn't consider the necessary corollary: If Beltran has a bad September, well, then he just sucks.
Well, the results are in, and Beltran had quite a September. A whopping .270 and 2 homeruns.
As I scrutinize Beltran's monthy splits, I recall a game in April where Alex Rodriguez had 3 homeruns and 10 rbis. (Anaheim's starting pitcher that night was Cy Young candidate Bartolo Colon, no less.)
Since Beltran's most productive month was 3 hrs and 17 rbis, it's fair to say that ARod basically matched a typical Beltran month in one day.
I also wonder how many know-it-alls still think the Yankees should have pursued Beltran instead of Randy Johnson.
