Injuries happen. Sometimes a player has bad luck. Carlos Beltran with the Mets will never get the credit he deserves. The guy was the most consistent player the team had during his tenure with the Mets. If you don't think so, well than you're just another one of those irrational Met fans that I question has a fully functioning brain.
Yup, Carlos Beltran struck out looking to end the Mets 2006 season and ended their hopes to getting back to the World Series. He was NOT the reason they lost that game. I am not even a Met fan and I know Aaron Heilman gave up a two-run homerun to Yadier Molina. A guy who if he hits ten homers a year, it's a lot. Carlos Beltran also looked at a 3-2 filthy curveball. Every single Met would of stared at that pitch like Mila Kunis walking down the street in high heels and a 3 inch skirt. It isn't Carlos Beltran's fault.
The guy also busted his ass. His injuries came from running into walls and players. You want to blame a Met for not being a good teammate, blame fucking Johan. He should be getting the same grief Beltran is. What about Pelfrey? He is about as consistent as Muhammad Ali throwing darts.
To those who don't know I am a Yankee fan. A Yankee fan!! A rational thinking Yankee fan. Carlos Beltran for the duration of his stay was your franchise. Name another Met free agent signing in the last 20 years better than Carlos Beltran and I will publicly embarrass myself and praise the person in an article on this blog. I challenge you.
To boot I will name a few recent phenomenal Met free agent signings.
Bobby Bonilla
Roberto Alomar
Mo Vaughn
Shane Spencer
Jeremy Burnitz
Jason Bay
Kaz Matsui
Vince Coleman
Luis Castillo
Oliver Perez
Now that I have basically laid out every recent bust, take your best shot at trying to come up with a Mets free agent signing better than Beltran.
