Beltran did the right thing at the right time. Good for him. Obviously, it's too much money but the money they are giving isn't that bad. The bad thing is the length of the contract. Eventually the Mets will get burned (but probably not till years 5-7). Who knows though. Maybe by then $17M won't be as big of a contract as it is now.
Expect his HR rate to drop considerably from last year since Shea isn't nearly as hitter friendly as Minute Maid Park. He'll likely be back to about 25-30 HR/season.
