Fresh start in 2010??? Guess the Mets medical staff still can't handle
players healthy.

“Carlos Beltran had worsening of osteoarthritis of the right knee
during the offseason. He had not been experiencing pain following the
conclusion of the season and into his early offseason conditioning.
The symptoms returned to the point where pre-spring training
conditioning became too painful. He elected to undergo arthroscopic
clean out of the arthritic area of his knee by Beltran”s personal
physician Dr. Richard Steadman today in Colorado. He is anticipated
to return to baseball activities in 12 weeks.

It wasn't the Mets medical staff. According to the Post (via Metsblog)
he did it on his own. This could get ugly. Maybe Angel Pagan (our new
center fielder?) isn't the stupidest player on the Mets, after all.

Do you know what osteoarthritis is? That is not an injury. It is a
disease.

If he was in pain the Mets have no damn way they can enforce that...and
they should shut up. He's a human being, you know, not a cow.
