Beltran & Co on the road to Viera

The Mets have 1 game left on there road schedule in spring training. That includes a bus trip to Viera to play the Nationals 1 last time. Carlos Beltran along with all of the Met regulars are making this final trip.

Terry Collins is putting his opening day lineup on the field against the Nationals. So that means  Carlos Beltran gets the start in right field. The Mets only have 2 games left before they head to Florida for opening day. Not sure if the Mets will play Beltran Wednesday. If so he would  be pushed since he will be taking a bus ride and playing 2 games within about 24 hours.

The Mets last game in Pt St Lucie is Wednesday against the Marlins at 12 noon. The Mets will lose the ability to back date a DL stint once Beltran starts today. After the entire spring where Beltran played 1 game and a couple of minor league games, will be a big test for the Mets right fielder. He bats 4th today as the Mets will have lefty Chris Capuano getting the start.

Emaus bats 7th in front of Thole.
