[BP] Under The Knife
What is Carlos Beltran doing and why aren't the Mets stopping him? Beltran is
playing with patellar tendonitis, an injury that is often fixed by rest and
can be aggravated by almost any movement, especially lateral or traumatic
movement. This is exactly the type of thing he did last season with poor
results. The Mets are running away with the division, no pun intended, and
yet they aren't finding ways to buy rest for anyone short of Pedro Martinez
(who will start Friday). The bonus of having a big lead is setting your own
schedule and agenda. The Mets have to start thinking about not only keeping
Beltran ready for the playoffs, but for the term of his big-dollar contract.
The Braves are the chasers, but by resting Andruw Jones and Chipper Jones,
saving them for the Mets series this weekend, they're showing a confidence
and knowledge of how this long season works that is both the benefit of
experience and the type of decision that has given them this experience.
