Carlos Beltran just came out of a meeting with GM Sandy Evlis Alderson, JP Ricciardi, and Terry Collins. We were wondering if an announcement would follow with Beltran being put on DL.
No such news. According to Dave Lennon:
"Beltran says he'll shoot for more minor-league ABs today but still no baserunning for him. Meeting was just an update. "
We here at 24 hours...aren't buying the spin-doctoring. Although no one is saying it, we believe Beltran won't be in a Mets uniform and playing RF until at least the second week of April. I personally believe it will be May before we see Carlos.
Once again, the covert/clandestine meetings of the Mets is beyond suspicion. Injuries are dealt with in the surreal; making statements of the injury they wish to be true, but know aren't.
Beltran played last year, had no surgery this year, worked on his conditioning during the off-season, and needed cortisone in his "good" knee, and has only had 3 official AB's in Spring Training - while not even blowing the dust off his fielders glove.
Mets can say what they want, but the writing is on the wall.
The Mets have optioned 2B Justin Turner to the minor leagues. That leaves Murphy, Hernandez, and Ricciardi favorite, Brad Emaus left for the starting 2B position.
Murphy will most likely be a fill in/bench player due to his poor fielding and good bat. Hernandez has looked decent in brief appearances, but the job will ultimately go to Emaus, even though the youngster hasn't earned it.
