From Rotoworld:

 

Update #1:

 

Carlos Beltran underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee Wednesday afternoon and is expected to be idle for the next 12 weeks.

 

The Mets released a statement on the matter just moments ago stating that Beltran began experiencing "osteoarthritis of the right knee" several weeks ago "to the point where pre-spring training conditioning became too painful." He opted to undergo the procedure through his own personal doctor and will almost certainly miss the first month of the season, if not more. The Mets may rush to sign another outfielder before spring training begins.

 

 

Update #2

 

The Mets are maintaining that Carlos Beltran's right knee surgery was done without their blessing and may pursue some form of action.

 

It's possible (but unlikely) the Mets could move to void Beltran's entire contract. More than likely, they'll try to recoup partial monetary loss, perhaps in returned salary for the time he will be out. However, these types of suits against a player rarely succeed, never mind win. Beltran is expected to be out no less than 12 weeks with the injury.

 

 

 

Uh oh.......

 

That's a shame.

 

:whistle

2009 all over again

I heard it was a scope, not a microfracture surgery.

I understand his knee is hurt, but can the mole play?

i heard an insider tip that the mole will be ready for spring training
