New York Met’s center fielder, Carlos Beltran, is confident his Mets are the team to beat in the N.L. East. How do I know this? Because he felt Jimmy Rollins needed to know. On Saturday, he sat in front of a face full of microphones and firmly stated, “To Jimmy Rollins: We’re the team to beat.”
Good Idea to call out last years MVP Carlos. Although, he certainly has a point, the Mets look like a shoe-in for the World Series with the addition of ace Johan Santana. That being said, this does not give Carlos Beltran the right to make a bold ass statement like this. Especially after a monumental collapse at the end of last year, during which, the Mets were the laughing stock of the MLB. Also, the Phillies aren’t looking too shabby for the upcoming season either. In addition to j-roll, the Phills have homerun savant, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and last year’s surprise, Cole Hamels. Either way, I can’t see the Nationals, Marlins, or Braves making a run for the division. This is setting up to be a two-way race, with two serious contenders. Until that time, lets hold off on the bold statements.
Prediction: Mets
