I've been saying for close to 3 years now that Beltran should be batting 2nd. He had his best years in KC and went nuts in Houston in the 2 hole. This wouldn't make sense on a healthy Mets team because Lo Duca is an even better option there, but it's something that should be explored more when Castro catches. Still, it doesn't really bother me as much as it did 2 years ago if he bats 2nd or 3rd because he's going to hit anywhere you put him.
Also, it was explained the day after that Braves game that since it's still April Randolph is just experimenting with the newcomers in the bullpen to see just what their ideal roles will be later in the season. I can live with that.
