Justin Turner

No!!!

But if you throw out Beltre’s super year, Pedro’s 1983, and all the years of the greatest Dodger 3rd baseman (Ron Cey), he is:) Kind of interesting the possible future HOF Adrian Beltre only had one OPS+ season above 120 in which he had at least 250 plate appearances. Beltre has had five of them since leaving LA.
