Beltre: Trained by Buscow’s to run from HP to 1b ASAP and hit BP meatball’s as far as he could. Lift weights, get strong and no plate discipline..
Boston gave this kid 600k back in ’06., a lot of money then for a 16YO. They learned there lesson (mostly) on the ones trained to do nothing but what some scouts look for and with many real baseball talents.

The guy made it to the big leagues. $600K at age 16 is a gamble but I would not call this a complete fail. He is still 25. He’ll get a chance somewhere and might make it back as an extra OF, pinch run specialist
