imagine all the fly balls that will get caught with beltran and cammie in the outfield no more bloop singles. yeah for the pitching staff

I always love ESPN's Photoshopped cap-and-uniform jobs the day after a player changes teams. But why does it say "TRADED" in orange letters around the border?

Your GM did a great job of securing the best Free Agent of the off season. Now as an Astros fan I have to wallow through 2005 and wonder what could have been...

Good luck this coming season.

I can't believe it! It's been a long time since the Mets spent A money on an "A" player as opposed to their habit of spending "A" level money on guys past their prime. I just wish he was playing along side Guerreron in right!

I know Beltran isn't going to be a consistent 30 HR, 110 RBI guy that usually gets over $100 million dollars, but he is a young guy who will be a 20-30 HR, 85-100 RBI, 90-100 runs scored, and 30 stolen base guy barring injury. Plus he plays great defense and along with Cameron (who should really play left because he doesn't have enough arm for right), the pitchers should be pretty happy with the outfield defense.

The Mets needed this to get the buzz back around Shea. Beltran and Pedro definately help. If they get Delgado or Ramirez then I'll just flip out!

C-Belt is just freaking amazing. He had an almost career low .267 average, but his OBP was 100 points higher! He will probably be .290/.390/.520 guy with about 30 hrs, play great defense, steal with every getting caught AND THE METS GOT HIM!!!! FREAKIN A!!!!

Let us all remember. Beltran did most of his best hitting last season on the road, not in Houston or KC like people think (23 HRs on the road / 15 HRs at home). Suffice to say that if he repeats that trend next season, even if he hits only 10 HRs at Shea, he can still hit somewhere around 35-40 HRs total. His doubles output will surely increase because of Shea. Oh, and if you look at his splits over the last three seasons against NL East teams, each and every team he pretty much had OPS's over 1.000. He will be facing NL East teams half the time over the course of the season. Add that to the stats I mentioned in the beginning of this post, and Beltran could easily post a .300/35-40 HR/110 RBI season.
