Oklahoma Senators Face Difficult Options On Disaster Relief
PHOTOS: Tornado Aftermath Leaves Trail Of Destruction
The new year isn't even two weeks old, but the Mets can't escape the injury bug that plagued them for all of the last one. Wednesday night, they found out that Carlos Beltran underwent arthroscopic surgery on his arthritic right knee, and that he won't be able to participate in any baseball activities for 12 weeks. To make matters worse, Joel Sherman is reporting that Mets are claiming Beltran had the surgery without their permission, and that the team is contemplating action against their star. The same knee condition caused Beltran to miss half of the 2009 season and while he initially felt better, the team says that he experienced pain during his conditioning workouts to prepare for the upcoming season. The 12-week timetable means that he should be able to start rehabbing right around when the season begins, with his return coming at some point after that.
It's hard to imagine this situation getting any uglier, but a 12-week timetable for a scope seems intuitively long (I'm by no means an expert, but generally scopes are done because they're not invasive and keep recovery time down) and given the way Beltran's return date kept sliding later and later last year, there are a lot of questions unanswered. And that's without getting in to why Beltran felt the need to have the procedure done without the Mets' permission. I guess after the way 2009 went, Mets fans shouldn't have expected anything different.
