A member of the 3,000 hit club, Adrian Beltre, would collect 751 of his 3,166 Hits with the Seattle Mariners. 

The Third Baseman arrived as a Free Agent from the Los Angeles Dodgers, after finishing second in National League MVP voting.  In the five seasons he was with Seattle, he never received an MVP vote, but he was still among the upper tier of Third Basemen, both with his bat and glove.  From 2006 to 2008, Beltre had at least 25 Home Runs, and he would have 103 overall for the team.  He would earn two of his Gold Gloves with Seattle (2007 & 2008), and his 21.2 bWAR for the Mariners was more than decent.

While Beltre actually had better seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Texas Rangers, his work with the Mariners should not be ignored.
