Beltran: "We're the team to beat"


Let the trash talk and the player predictions begin. When the Phillies reported to camp prior to the 2007 season, Phillies' SS Jimmy Rollins predicted that his team would be the team to beat, turns out he was right.


Now, with players reporting to camp, the trash talk and the player predictions have started. This time, it came from Mets' outfielder Carlos Beltran. Without being asked a single question, Beltran sat in the team dugout and, again, without being prompted said "To Jimmy Rollins, we're the team to beat."


When asked to ellaborate, Beltran stated "Let me tell you this, without Santana, we felt, as a team, that we had a chance to win in our division. With him now, I have no doubt that we're going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that. We've got what it takes."
