Carlos BumTran decided that it was time to get surgery. What an idiot! Does the damn guy own a calendar? Instead of going under the knife the week after the NY Mets season ended - about May of 2009 - Carlos Beltran decides to wait for half of the off-season to pass before calling his doctor.

Now we're going to have one of our best players out for a month at the start of the season. GREAT way to kick off a new 2010 NY Mets season.

Carlos Beltran of the New York Mets is probably most famous for his absolute tear of home runs he hit during the 2004 playoffs. He broke Barry Bonds single season post season home run record by clocking 8 long balls. As a side note, I actually take quite a bit of comfort knowing that almost every record Barry has or will set will fall in a few short years. Back on point however, Beltran got hot at the right moment, the Mets trumped the Yanks on their offer, and no one has regretted it since.

Carlos Beltran seems to finally be recovering from his 2007 hangover. For the past 10 games, the NY Mets centerfielder has been outstanding, despite the fact the Mets have only won 4 of those contests.

Beltran has 14 hits in 42 at bats for a .333 batting average over the past ten games. Unfortunately his OBP isn't much higher as he's only added a pair of walks, but at a respectable .380 nobody's complaining.
