Mid Season Speculation on Beltre

According to my dubious calculation,
on this date June 9th after playing 57 games,
Adrian Beltre, at the current pace (.242 Avg.)
projected over 162 games, will finish with:

At-Bat: 644
Hit: 156
Double: 31
Triple: ? (he has yet to hit one this season)
HR: 14
RBI: 85
Runs: 94
Bases on Balls: 26
Strikeout: 111
Total Base: 230

He's not too far off
his season averages prior to 2004.
Slight improvement in RBI due to hitting in the third slot?
Walk total is alarming, though(so far only 9.)

'98-'03: in 810 Games, 99 HRs, 389 RBIs,
749 Hits in 2864 At-Bats.
These numbers translate into:
on avg. .261 16.5 HR 64.8 RBI per season.

'99-'03 .264 18.4 HR 73.4 RBI
'01-'03 .253 19 HR 71.6 RBI
'02-'03 .248 22 HR 77.5 RBI

comapare these numbers to his 2004 numbers:
.334 48 HR 121 RBI

*The data on the statistics are from Baseballe-Reference.com

He will still win the Gold Glove Award!
I still hope he will somehow figure out AL pitchers by the second half.
