Carlos Beltran is on the road to recovery. He’s scheduled to play in a minor league rehab game Wednesday in Brooklyn. Whew… just in the nick of time.
In case you’re scoring at home, Wednesday night’s Brooklyn Cyclones lineup will have a combined salary of at least $19,243,682 (Carlos Beltran’s 2009 salary).
In comparison, yesterday in Chicago, the eight position players in the Mets starting lineup had a combined 2009 salary of $18,526,000.
I’ll leave it to you (the reader) to fill in your own witty comment on that one.
I’ll just note that its appropriate that Carlos Beltran makes more than the entire Mets lineup right now, considering that it costs Carlos Beltran a heck of a lot of money to dress himself.
