The Mets were purposefully vague today with their update on Carlos Beltran, saying only that he played three innings "in the field" and also had five at-bats (no elaboration). Could it have something to with Jerry Manuel's public lobbying on Friday to have Beltran return as a DH next weekend at Yankee Stadium?

Hmmm. Methinks it is no coincidence.
