Beltran's Knee Injury May Be Career-Threatening
Apparently, Carlos Beltran's knee is not getting any better, and the only option to try and relieve his pain could be microfracture. I don't know if there are any big-time baseball players who have had the procedure done, but it would certainly be a difficult road back to excellence. Too bad for Carlos if this comes to pass, but it's certainly not a bad thing for the Bravos if the Mets are stuck paying a guy big money to either not play or be a shadow of his former self.

I remember that Magglio Ordonez had the surgery and came back great from it (although PEDs might have been a factor).
It is interesting to read this. One thing I didn’t realize is that Beltran is 32 years old. He’s had knee problems before, and he’s approaching that age where athletes start breaking down. If I were the Mets I would be sweating it out.

Not exactly...
He had some kind of new-age wave therapy done in Europe that sort of simulates the microfracture effect, but it’s not quite the same.

It's a :bone bruise that keeps growing"...
As a Bobcats fan, I recognize that phrase from Sean May updates. Wasn’t long before he went under for the microfracture.

A lot of things about Sean May just kept growing.

PLEASE don't get me started.
The sight of him in a blanket-sized mustard plaid sport coat makes me want to vomit.
