Beltran is going to be 40 next April and he has played in only 39 games all year.

If the Royals want to use the DH spot on a slow baserunner who can't play defense, I'd rather see them bring back Kendrys. That's obviously not an accurate description of a 30 year old Carlos Beltran, but I've got to think it is for a 40 year old Beltran.
Played in 39 games? He played 138 and OPS 860.

Ill take my chances
