Sure, there are sects of the Astros fan base that harbor feelings of contempt for Carlos Beltran. Most fans were just disappointed when he left for New York. Life went on. A lot of us got over it. You can’t fault a man who had the right to choose where he wanted to work.
Isn’t freedom, beautiful?
Adding an outfielder like Beltran makes sense once you move past, well, the past. In fact, the 2016 Astros, much like the 2004 Astros, are in need of another outfield bat. Carlos Gomez (64 OPS+) and Colby Rasmus (83 OPS+) have been nothing less than disappointing on the field in 2016.
