Those seeking Carlos Beltran will likely find Greta Garbo--via Neil Best

Neil Best's Watchdog blog relates Ron Darling comment re Beltran heard on TBS game (not aired in NY market):

• (Quote from Ron Darling on TBS via Neil Best, Watchdog): "On Carlos Beltran being a New York type of player:

“I don’t know if there are New York kind of players anymore because this is a tough town and you’re going to catch a lot of criticism. Also, people don’t begrudge the

• big contracts of athletes, but they do feel as though that when you sign a player to a historical kind of contract

• they want that player to be a ‘get dirty’ kind of guy,

• a leader kind of guy,

• a vocal kind of person, and

• Carlos is none of those things.

He’s an excellent player, great athlete, but

• would prefer to be left alone. He’s more Greta Garbo than Big League Star.”"
