ANALYSIS: Through the Yankees’ first 11 games, Carlos Beltran was batting .341/.357/.610 with three home runs and seven RBI. Even though that has dropped over the last four games, he has been one of the most productive hitters for the Yanks in the early going. No one is suggesting Beltran will return to his prime power form from 2006-’07, but there is plenty of evidence to suggest the power is still there. Over the past four seasons, Beltran still averaged 22.5 HR per year with an above average .802 OPS. He is a must-own as long as he can maintain a solid average and OBP, since the long ball is a possibility every time he steps up to the plate.
