Carlos Beltran biggest test on tap

With it being reported that Beltran ran the bases this weekend without pain, the Mets centerfielder has only 1 hurdle to pass before possibly coming back to the Mets in September. That is to have an Mri and have it show the bruise has gone down so he can play. The question is why even bother?

Ok he wants to play to make sure he is sounds for next spring training. Fine take the Mri and if the bruise has come down let him play a couple of days in Brooklyn until the season ends there in a week or so and then maybe just pinch hit off the bench and dump Sheff. I mean at this point Sheff breaks down every other day. This way Beltran does not have to subject himself the grind of playing the outfield. I mean do really need to see him play 3 games and get hurt again. The season is over and yes I am sure it will be lift to the other Mets to see Beltran in the clubhouse but lets leave him on the bench and not on the field.
