They were in the batting cage together and Beltran kinda stepped-in as a guy who Torres had always looked up to.

Or at least that's how I remember it being prefaced on the show.

- This is what I was talking about below. I rather shoot the wad on Prince Fielder. That would be a bold move for 2012 and the long-run. - juan 2011-11-11 08:40:14 (150 views)
  - Plus, those guys want 20-25 per for 7-10 years. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 19:06:14 (21 views)
    - That is high. If we gave him Zito type money, I thought 20% raise or ~7 years $130 - 140 M. - juan 2011-11-12 07:07:11 (23 views)
      - There's a pretty good article on espn about what they're after. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-12 09:21:23 (16 views)
  - But that isn't the choice. It's Beltran or some smaller salary. Not Fielder. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 09:33:56 (19 views)
- I'm conflicted about resigning Beltran. I think he's a great player but from my outside perspective as a fan, - nuschler 2011-11-11 08:36:58 (90 views)

  - Agree, + he is 35. But if you get him for 3 years max 10-12 per you have to make that move IMO - MoonMan 2011-11-11 09:11:00 (57 views)
  - I never read anything negative about him from the beat writers - Hawk_941 2011-11-11 08:42:35 (60 views)
    - If they sign him, I hope you're right. I just remember he was pretty selfish when he showed up here. - nuschler 2011-11-11 09:27:59 (22 views)
      - Only issue I had was that he wouldn't play LF. I hope that if we sign him its with the understanding that he plays LF - sbgiants 2011-11-11 10:21:05 (25 views)
        
        His desire to play RF could have been simply - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-11 12:23:52 (27 views)
        
        Playing LF might be a deal breaker for him. That and if the Giants haven't upgraded their offense sufficiently IHO. - nuschler 2011-11-11 10:36:19 (21 views)
