Lifted from the Red Sox when the Rangers shipped Eric Gagne, Beltre is one of the Rangers' most infuriating young power prospects. Beltre is a lithe ballplayer with a strong arm, good speed, and what scouts have always seen as easy projectable power, but only average range, making him perhaps a better corner someday than the centerfielder he's been to date. At the plate, he has a smooth swing , though it's more than a bit long, which means at higher levels, he becomes vulnerable to tight fastballs or offspeed pitches away: every time the Rangers have moved him up, his numbers have decayed and never returned to their previous level, and his power simply hasn't shown up outside of batting practice yet. Whether he's a bust in the making or just a slow-learner, Beltre's promising mix of power and wheels are hard to give up on, but even harder to bank on. He remains a nice longshot sleeper, but he's no longer one of the Rangers' top prospects.
