He is on the downside of his career just based on age, and the injuries will just accelerate the process.<br /><br />I do like Beltran as a player, and enjoy watching/rooting for him as much as anyone else. But we just need to be smart and not extend his contract just because he was good for us for so many years. Thats my main concern.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535595425731409976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862282067381058668.post-83333166296157614652010-01-14T21:23:57.576-05:002010-01-14T21:23:57.576-05:00You get worried about the term "microfracture...You get worried about the term "microfracture" that keeps getting thrown around. Of course, you can never believe everything you hear because nobody really knows the truth. If/when he gets healthy, he will show up and play--they always do....especially near the end of a big contract. He hits .300 + and knocks 30 out and drives in 100 and he will be cheered...but he has to get healthy first and this knee injury is going on a year....he will find a way to battleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862282067381058668.post-66966444319952601092010-01-14T16:42:00.500-05:002010-01-14T16:42:00.500-05:00Beltran can "take it to the Mets" all he...Beltran can "take it to the Mets" all he wants, although I think him/Boras isn't that dumb. If he really thinks someone is going to give him another multi-year deal, the most likely team to do that is the Mets. If they are pissed and don't trust him, he has zero chance of an extension/new deal. <br /><br />Let's just hope this is the only procedure he needs/time he will miss for the rest of his tenure with the Mets.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535595425731409976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862282067381058668.post-35119105122453649602010-01-14T16:36:14.569-05:002010-01-14T16:36:14.569-05:00Is it a bad sign when your guys are hurt and out b...Is it a bad sign when your guys are hurt and out before the superbowl? You think he is sticking it to the Mets? It is not secret that he was not happy with how he was handled last year. He is clearly telling the Mets to go pound sand. He doesn't trust them. Not sure I blame him. I know this though--they need him in CF and they need him in the middle of the order. Let's hope he comes back healthy...he needs to BATTLEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862282067381058668.post-20558361843375613042010-01-14T13:27:28.764-05:002010-01-14T13:27:28.764-05:00Here we go again, the saga continues...Here we go again, the saga continues...Bob Murphynoreply@blogger.com
