Beltran clubs way to the top: Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran went 1 for 4 on Wednesday against the Padres, however he made that one hit count, as his fifth-inning, two-run home run off Jeff Suppan extended his National-League lead to 14 on the season. He is second in the league in RBI, with 37. The Cardinals won the game, 6-3. (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The home run was Beltran’s first in nine games, a drought by the lofty standard he has set this season. He is hitting the ball incredibly well, leading the NL’s top offense in his first season in St. Louis. He now has nine home runs in the month of May and should be considered a must-start Fantasy option while he is hot. (Updated 05/24/2012).

After missing much of the previous two seasons due to injury, Carlos Beltran had a resurgent campaign a year ago and became a solid option in Fantasy once again. He hit .285 with 13 home runs and 58 RBI for the Mets in the first half and earned his sixth trip to the All-Star game as a result. Then right before the trade deadline he was shipped to San Francisco, where he batted .323 with seven home runs and 18 RBI in 44 games. Beltran was able to turn his solid 2011 season into a two-year deal with the Cardinals and he is expected to help replace the production lost when Albert Pujols signed with the Angels in the offseason. The 34-year-old appears to be over the knee problems that plagued him from 2009-2010 and while he is likely not a 30-homer candidate anymore, Beltran can still hit for average with some decent pop and run production. He will have his place in mixed leagues come 2012 so target Beltran in the middle to late rounds on Draft Day. (Updated 2/13/12)
