Beltran excpected to show for start of Mets Spring Training

Mark Hale of the New York Post writes:
It will not be surprising if this changes, but the Mets believe Carlos Beltran will head to spring training when position players report, even though the star center fielder will not be physically ready and is under no obligation to report that early.
Beltran underwent controversial knee surgery last month and is going to miss the start of the season. He's rehabbing from the operation in Puerto Rico. Mets position players report to Port St. Lucie on Feb. 23.
"He doesn't have to report [then], but I think he was planning on coming in right around when the other position players did," assistant GM John Ricco said yesterday. "He was not just going to stay at home and rehab with the physical therapist there."
Added Omar Minaya, "He doesn't have to. But right now I think that's his plan."

It's great to know that Beltran is excpected to show for spring training this tells us that Beltran is not mad at the Mets.
