MLB in general has gotten really smart on generating revenue from the games. Sounds like the Beltran injury won't be bad so he'll probably miss a game or two. Endy Chavez has proven that he can temp in center field if need be. Agree on Soler. The guy definitely is a diamond in the rough and needs some seasoning. It's not like he's a Jose Lima who's had more chances than he deserves. The move to more advertising was truly inevitable.

(But I guess the Mets have to pay for Delgado, Martinez, and Beltran somehow.) I don't like the idea of messing with Beltran. He's hitting where he is and he comfortable (finally). Delgado has been around long enough to know how to work through these slumps. Sometimes (from a managerial point of view) the best thing to do is to do nothing. I just read the story from your link about Beltran injurying his knee on a fall ball. I don't understand, if it takes you five minutes to get up, you are dizzy, and you are having trouble standing why finish the at-bat? He was taken out immediately afterward anyway. And it's not like he helped the team much by striking out, so what's the problem with him saying I need to be taken out of the game? I haven't given up on Soler yet. My gosh, he pitched 2 games and already there are people calling for his head? It silliness like this that prevents the Mets from giving its young players a chance. The front office knows that there are some people who will not give youngsters a chance to grow up (see the Phenom Trio). As a result our brightest prospects are delayed or traded to other teams (read: the Marlins). It’s ridiculous how much advertising there is at Shea.
