Age spares no one even if that person is a future MLB Hall of Famer as we found out again Tuesday night when Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre suffered a strained left hamstring that almost certainly will land him on the 10-day DL beginning on Wednesday. Having already secured enshrinement in Cooperstown according to this peanut stand given both his top-notch hitting and defense, Beltre is now 39 and he has been dealing with more and more injuries the last few seasons. The real shame of it is that Beltre can still hit as he goes into the DL stint with a .310 average and 1 home run, 11 runs scored, and 8 RBI. Be that as it may, Beltre is likely out for longer than the 10-day minimum given his age and he is only worth a stash in deeper formats since his power is beginning to erode on a per game basis.
