Is Carlos Beltran going to play again this season?

I'd love to hear an answer from a Mets fan in New York who's heard something definitive. He's been on my fantasy bench for awhile now, and I'd like to make some room if he's not playing again this year.

Is Carlos Beltran going to play again this season?

    Exclusive: Revolutionary change may allow Pacquiao, Mayweather into Olympic Games

    18 comments Subscribe Subscribe

    EXCLUSIVE REPORT

    Imagine the magnificent likes of Manny Pacquiao fighting in the Olympics for his beloved Philippines or unbeaten Floyd Mayweather doing the same for America.

    Or Mexico’s accomplished Antonio Margarito boxing in the Olympic Games and repping Mexico.

    It’s a fistic fantasy right now but maybe this will happen down the line because revolutionary change is coming, and coming soon, to the international and American amateur boxing scenes.

    Examiner.com and Boxingconfidential.com have learned exclusively that AIBA, the group which regulates both Olympic Games boxing and the annual world amateur tournaments, has approved a deal which will allow boxers from different countries, including the USA, to compete in professional bouts but still retain amateur eligibility for some amateur events including fighting in the quadrennial Olympiads.

    This exciting new concept begins with a “draft” and AIBA-sanctioned professional boxing “teams.” the first three American franchises are going to be in new York, Los Angeles and Chicago and the cards will feature a series of five-round bouts.

    Here’s the worldwide setup, taken from the World Series of Boxing website.

    The 12 World Series of Boxing teams are spread across three conferences as follows:

    Americas
    Chicago
    Los Angeles
    New York
    Mexico City

    Asia
    Astana, Kazakhstan
    Baku, Azerbaijan
    Beijing, China
    Delhi, India

    Europe
    Istanbul, Turkey
    Milan, Italy
    Moscow, Russia
    Paris, France

    “What this means,” an insider connected to the venture told me, “is that a top American amateur boxer will be able to fight as pro, to get paid something and then still be able to compete for Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals. the same fighter, who might now be referred to as “a pro-am” boxer, would also be able to compete in, let’s say, a USA versus Germany or USA versus Cuba head-to-head international amateur show and then shift back to paid bouts.”

    My inside source did not discuss the likeliehood of established pros, of distinguished world champions such as Pacman and Money May, going “both ways” and being able to do what NBA superstars from any country do, which is to play professionally and also play in the Olympic Games.

    But I say, once you open the barn door to amateur boxers getting paid but retaining eligibility, how long can it be before every national Olympic committee will want its best fighters fighting under their flag?

    And how about the increased TV revenue if elite boxers such as Mayweather and Pacquiao were featured in the Games?

    In that case, I’d have to think the rest of the world would be decided underdogs to the Ukrainian team, at least in the super heavyweight class where it could have BOTH Waldimir and Vitali Klitschko fighting for medals. I predict plenty of walkovers in that bracket, lol.

    And, while I’m on the topic, maybe it’s sneaky way to get the K Bros. to actually fight each other.

    Too bad this kind of progressive move was not made back in the era of Muhammad Ali as the greatest pro heavyweight and Cuba’s Teofilo Stevenson dominating one Olympiad after another. that was always a dream fight for fans.

    Given America’s dismal Olympic amateur boxing teams of recent vintage, change of any kind is welcome.
    I’m excited about this concept and these proactive changes.

    More to come…

    What is the biggest pain in the neck for you in fantasy sports games? What gives you headaches?

    Mine is the players who get injured but aren’t officially on the DL. Another is when a team is not communicating with the press what the injury is or when that player will be back. Or when teams lie about the injury to the press for whatever reason or when they are misleading about the injury or when they sit a player on the bench far after his expected return date. Makes it hell for fantasy sports team owners.

    How do I change my Fantasy Sports roster edits back to drop and drag?

    My fantasy sports teams have all changed to classic style for roster edits. How do I get the drop and drag feature back?
    I checked above the roster. There is no selection to change it from classic to drop and drag.
