Beltran's Met Legacy

Here is an extremely well-written piece on Carlos Beltran by Rany Jazayerli:

It essentially talks about Beltran being a very clutch player for his career. Thankfully, it also reports that the Mets got back a prospect with very high potential.

    And, Ronjaya, here is another article (not giving it the "made up" statistics of the previous one http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/20185/wilpon-got-what-he-paid-for-in-beltran) reporting that Beltran lived up to his contract:

    and another: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6809060

    Don't get me wrong. I will remember that horrible, nightmarish strikeout and two injury-filled seasons. But, according to several writers, the Mets got what they paid for with Beltran.
