M's Beltre needs surgery
All signs point to Adrian Beltre needing to take himself off the field for thumb and shoulder surgery in the next few days. Beltre doesn't have to be told this. But the competitor in him would prefer to play out the final 2?? weeks of the season, then face his date to have his left thumb -- and also left shoulder -- dealt with arthroscopically. Trainer Rick Griffin and the Seattle medical crew have said that recovery from the thumb surgery is four to five months. If it's four months, then Beltre could wait until the end of the season and still be ready for an early February start to the spring.

Why takea chance? The M's are out of it; have been since, when, about the end of April? Who knows what else could happen to Beltre in the last couple of weeks of play. Personally, I think he ought to go get the surgery and then focus on his recovery and getting ready for the '09 season.
