The Daily New’s Adam Rubin has finally provided us with some good news about the New York Mets. Some earlier reports were as bad as there was a chance that Carlos Beltran’s career was in danger, but after a visit to knee specialist Dr. Richard Steadman he has concluded that Beltran merely has a bone bruise, will not require surgery, and should be able to come back after the All-Star Game.
…This is great news. Although I’ve been mildly impressed with Fernando Martinez (the all can’t be Doc Gooden) he is clearly not ready for the bigs and needs some seasoning in the minors. Beltran is needed in this lineup right now to come in and create a force in this lineup who can come in and help out David Wright. If this would have been bad news with the way the Mets have been going lately it would have been like sticking a fork in the Mets season as something as something they could not recover from
Trade wise it also makes the Mets look slightly less desperate and could help Omar make a deal for slightly less because this will be like acquiring a big bat right after the All-Star break with Carlos Delgado being a second big bat…
