Carlos Beltran Could Play Games This Weekend!

An article by Kelly Horn

Good News!

Carlos Beltran, Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins met today and mapped out a new plan that will have Beltran fully participating in Grapefruit League games by this weekend. All three are very confident that he will be breaking camp with the Mets on Opening Day.

“At this point, assuming everything goes well over the next eight days, he’s right on track for Opening Day” said Sandy Alderson. “I still believe he’s going to be ready,” Collins added.

One of the big questions going into Opening Day in just nine days, is whether Carlos Beltran will be stationed in rightfield against the Marlins. So far Terry Collins and Carlos Beltran say absolutely.

Yesterday, Beltran got some at-bats in a minor league game and hit the ball great including a double and home run while hitting left-handed.

Here he is in the second of my 2011 Opening Day Mets Graphics Series!

I still don’t think that Beltran will be healthy enough to play in more than 70 games this year. I hope I’m wrong and he plays and plays well but I feel like this will be one of those nagging injuries that he will have to miss time for throughout the season.

  hopefully then he plays the first 69 for the mets then gets traded for a good prospect.

Kelly,

Of course you were on top of the Beltran news… :]

So i’ve heard from the minor league games and random scout notes and whatnot that his swing seems intact but again, his knees are the problem.

Of course, that is an improvement. I look forward to seeing him on the field for the Mets and I expect him to contribute this year.
