News: Arizona signs infielder Troy Glaus to a four-year, $45-million contract. Recovering from shoulder problems, it is unclear whether or how long the 28-year-old Glaus will remain at third base before switching to first base.
Comparison: Troy Glaus vs. Adrian Beltre
Year Glaus Age Glaus G Glaus HR Glaus EQA - Beltre Age Beltre G Beltre HR Beltre EQA 1998 22 48 1 .195 - 19 77 7 .234 1999 23 154 29 .255 - 20 152 15 .272 2000 24 159 47 .310 - 21 138 20 .285 2001 25 161 48 .295 - 22 126 13 .258 2002 26 156 30 .277 - 23 159 21 .258 2003 27 91 16 .276 - 24 158 23 .248 2004 28 58 18 .296 - 25 156 48 .331
Year-to-year, Glaus appears to have the better long-term track record. But age-to-age, Beltre has out-EQAed Glaus at 22, 23 and 25.
