CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Old friend Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News brings us this bit of news from Mets' camp in Port St. Lucie: Carlos Beltran, normally a man of few words, did his best impression of Jimmy Rollins today, declaring the Mets will be the "team to beat" in the NL East."Let me tell you this: Without [Johan] Santana, we felt as a team we have a chance to win in our division," Beltran said. "With him now, I have no doubt that we’re going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that. We've got what it takes. We have good chemistry as a team. He fits great because he's a great guy. He's one of the best pitchers in the game. Who doesn't want to have him on any ballclub? Without him last year we did good until the end of the season. So this year, to Jimmy Rollins, we are the team to beat."
Wow. Should be interesting when Beltran gets his first at-bat at Citizens Bank Park.
