Yeah, I shouldn&quot;t have said "bad," which implies that they were at the same level of production relative to each other; I meant that Beltran had a bad year by his standards, which is what Guzman also suffered through in 2006. Of course, an off year from Beltran is better than Guzman&quot;s best season, which is why I re-phrased Beltran&quot;s season as "disappointing". I was disappointed by it, you were disappointed by it, and I know Carlos Beltran himself was very disappointed by it. Trying too hard is a good explanation, because this seems to happen a lot to big New York signings... You never understand just what the media there can do to somebody&quot;s confidence until you put yourself in their shoes. It can be brutal.
