Beltran Pulls an Abdominal Muscle

Not starting today. Milledge to center. No word on severity. Eddie C with the report on the FAN.

We really are short these days on backups for outfield defense. Milledge has looked like ass a couple of times last year. Haven't seen much personally this year due mostly to the west coast trip.

Centerfield Jul 25 2007 04:14 PM

Fuck.

Rockin' Doc Jul 25 2007 04:24 PM

Hopefully it's nothing major. This season, the Met outfielders are dropping like pitchers in a cab.

Ever wonder what the correlation is between age and time on the DL?

And now we have Marlon Anderson playing in left against a lefty, because we DFA'd Ambres on Easley's return instead of Anderson Hernandez. I'm really not sure I like that.

Centerfield Jul 25 2007 05:23 PM

Any update on this? Out for the season? Day-to-day?

I don't think we had a choice -- the roster rules dictated that. Weren't we required to keep Anderson Hernandez up for a minimum number of days before sending him down again?

]I don't think we had a choice -- the roster rules dictated that. Weren't we required to keep Anderson Hernandez up for a minimum number of days before sending him down again? No, it's the other way around. If you send someone DOWN you then can't call him back up for (10?) days unless there's an injury up on the big club. The purpose of that rule is to prevent a team from sending all its LH batters down for a day or two while facing southpaws and then calling them back again when that club leaves town. Players can be sent down after just one game.

As for Beltran, Cf, it's too early to get any real info ... tweak to pull ... I'm more concerned right now about that thing on the side of his head the way Lastings looks the last two days.

Knowing the way that Beltran and the Mets work with muscle strains...it will probably be day-to-day without starting for 15 days, but no 15-day DL stint to call up a replacement while he has 2 pinch hit appearances in that timeframe...

Beltran has never seemed like the quick healing type.Let's hope its not a true rib cage pull..I'm sure when he does come back he'll be making that Oh it hurts so much face... Again..Beltran is on my lastings nerve... maybe Mark Kotsay is available..

Common sense would indicate a high correlation, but this statement is a total non-sequitor in a thread about an injury to Beltran who just turned 30, and is clearly in the prime of his career. Maybe. If the average roster age is high, and a young guy goes on the DL, the koolaid drinkers can chant "Nah,-nah, see? He's young and he got hurt so shove your stats up your ass, ha ha!!" all day long, but that's not how large-sample stats work. They just measure the probability of someone on the roster getting hurt--usually it will be the elderly who get cut down but not always. The Mets are suffering right now from a lot of young guys being injured, but that doesn't mean AT ALL that they were wise to pack the roster with ancient bodies. What it means is that the gods have a sense of humor. You've begun applying common sense to baseball? How rad of you.

i wonder what the correlation is. perhaps you have some stats to share with us?

Elster88 Jul 26 2007 09:43 PM

When we getting him back?

"Beltran was diagnosed with a concussion and a minimally non-displaced fracture of a facial bone." He was back in the lineup in 6 days. Remember that, moron? I didn't think so.

Vic Sage Jul 27 2007 09:54 AM

Neither does Carlos, for that matter.
