BY SCOTT LAUBERCLEARWATER, Fla. -- So, Carlos Beltran reported to Mets camp today, and according to Philled In's spies across the state, he was told that new closer Francisco Rodriguez already has declared the Mets the "team to beat" in the NL East.
Beltran smiled and said, "He say that? I agree with him."
Oh, and about Cole Hamels calling the Mets "choke artists" back in December, Beltran said, "The only thing I know is that he will be watched every time he faces us. Hopefully, we kill him, and then he'll have to deal with the situation."
So, there's that.

Just polished off stories for tomorrow's News Journal, but wanted to pass along some late-afternoon news: Chris Coste has agreed to a 2009 contract. He'll make $460,000 in the majors, $249,000 in the minors.
That's all for tonight. Talk to y'all tomorrow.
