Jul 23 Anthony DiComo, of Mets.MLB.com, reports New York Mets OF Carlos Beltran was batting fifth in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 23. It is the first time he has batted fifth in a lineup since June 15, 2003. KFFL


Jul 23 CF Carlos Beltran, who had been hitting cleanup, and 1B Carlos Delgado, who had been hitting mostly fifth, were flipped in the batting order for Wednesday night's game against Philadelphia. Manager Jerry Manuel said it was to take advantage of Delgado's hot hitting. Delgado went 1-for-2 with two walks and was hit by a pitch. Yahoo! Sports


Jul 23 Beltran and Carlos Delgado have flip-flopped spots in the batting order Wednesday, with Beltran now hitting fifth.

Recommendation: No reason has been given for the move, but it may just be a way of rewarding Delgado for his current hot stretch. This is the first time Beltran is batting fifth since June 15, 2003, as a member of the Royals at San Francisco.
