Yeah. He went under the knife without permission, which is stupid.

But, as usual...some blame also has to go to the Mets medical staff. Beltran wanted to have surgery done on his knee in late July/early August when it became abundantly clear the Mets weren't going to be able to get back into contention. The Mets told him no, because if something went wrong it could force him to miss all of 2010.

So he rehabbed, felt good...then suddenly the injury comes back a month before ST starts and he gets the surgery anyway. He won't resume baseball activities for 8-12 weeks (since it's Beltran, probably the latter) and you'd have to assume it'll take another month to run, get the timing back, etc. So we're looking at a late May/early June return at the least. And even when he returns, one slip-up could spell the end of his Mets career.

I think the probability of Carlos Delgado coming back just increased tenfold. Also wouldn't mind checking out a guy like Reed Johnson.

Trade Beltran to the Cubs, we'll wait for him.
