Actions speak louder than words. I’ll believe it when I see it. What did you expect him to say I’m the centerfielder and that’s final?

I think that is being interpreted differently than what he was trying to say..

“I understand there’s been a lot of things about center field, right field. Like I told Sandy, I told Terry: ‘I will give you a better answer of where I think I should play based on how I feel, but at the same time understand this is not about Carlos. This is about the team.’ And whatever is best for the team, at the end of the day, it’s not my decision”

I took it as menaing he would tell them if he though t he could play CF, so he effectively wanted to try out for the position, or if he really did not think he could and wanted to go to RF.

he clearly says the team gets to decide.

So Carlos Beltran feels its Carlos’ decision whether Carlos’ plays centerfield? (love the third person narrative)

Hopefully, It’s the manager’s call and it doesn’t become a drama if Carlos says he thinks Carlos can play centerfield and the skip doesn’t agree.

Why do I feel that the start of camp is like the start of a new season of MTV’s The Real World and I am waiting for what the opening credits say. “Find out what happens when everybody stops being polite and start being real”.
