The work ethic, the character, the intelligence, it’s everything he puts in.”Beltre, who has been dealing with a sore right hip, got a day off Thursday as the Rangers opened a four-game series in Seattle. He is scheduled to be used as the designated hitter Friday and Saturday and is hoping to play third base Sunday in the season finale.“It’s up to him to what he wants to do and is able to do,” Wakamatsu said. “I know he wants to be on the field the last day, we don’t know in what capacity. However he wants to finish the season, we’ll honor that.”Beltre has said he will spend a few weeks after the season talking with his family about his future.“I think that mentally http://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-chad-bettis-jersey , I’m ready to accept the fact that maybe this is it,” Beltre told MLB.com. “And if it’s not, I want to be ready, mentally, to go through another year of figuring out how to be productive and stay healthy.

Some guys are just unbelievably respected in this game and he’s certainly one of them for all that he’s accomplished and how hard he’s worked.”Beltre and the Rangers will face Mariners left-hander Wade LeBlanc (8-5, 3.55 ERA) on Friday.
