Carlos Beltran speaks: We need to overhaul the Bullpen.

It only took the Mets to lose the last game of the season and be out of the playoffs for him to talk to the Media.

We have all winter to dissect this team but I had to mention this the day after the Mets blew another shot at making the playoffs.

After last night’s game Carlos Beltran, who was responsible for the Mets runs on Sunday with a 2 run home run, says its time to overhaul the bullpen. He thinks the position players are fine. Well I agree about the first part but not the second. This is no offense to Jerry Manuel but when you have Nick Evans as a fifth hitter in the last game I think there are some issues to address with the position players. Obviously he did not have Fernando Tatis to insert in the lineup. Maybe he should have Raul Martinez up second since he seems to be a pretty patient hitter. Not sure having the revamped lineup was the direct cause but the Mets didn’t really have many hits the last 2 games.


Oh by the way Carlos thanks for stating the obvious
