Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre recently joined Ben & Skin on 105.3 The Fan to talk all things baseball. Here are some highlights:

On his relationship with Joey Gallo, mentoring him...

Beltre: I talk to him a lot because, obviously, he's a young kid that has so many tools and is unbelievably talented. It's crazy to see a kid like that who's 6'5" and be so athletic - he can play everywhere. Play defense and third base the way he did, it was unbelievable, not even talking about his power.

You know, just trying to give him advice on how to play defense, how not to rush because I know when I was that age how hype I was every play, and just trying to relax and be smart. Think about who's hitting before the ground ball comes to you, if you're going to have time to go get the ball, take different angles on the ball, stuff like that. And about hitting, too - the kid, he listens, and he's going to be something special.

On the development of his 'little brother' Elvis Andrus...

Beltre: He has grown as a man and as a player. It's been a huge difference. You can see it in his eyes. He's committed. He comes to work early every day. He does the things to be prepared for the game ... He had a great year last year offensively and defensively, and this year he's been great, too. But the thing is the kid is smart, he studies the game, and he has great instincts.

People forget that he had a great year in '11 and '12, because he had two off years they think that Elvis was not good anymore. But I always believe in him. He has great talent, and I think that we haven't seen even the best of him. I think he can be even better.
