Adrian Beltre selected his next team Tuesday, agreeing to a 6 year $96 million contract with the Texas Rangers. He leaves a Boston team that has made more noise than any this off-season, heading to the defending American League champions. Coming off an overachieved season statistically, he’ll try to maintain his power numbers while entering his 14th season of duty. Beltre will supplant himself into a lineup surrounded by power, speed, and reliability.
Projected everyday lineup for the 2011 Rangers:
Elvis Andrus
Michael Young
Josh Hamilton
Nelson Cruz
Adrian Beltre
Ian Kinsler
Mitch Moreland
David Murphy
Bengie Molina
