Who Will Hit the First Mets Homer of 2011?

If any of you watched the game last night, or even looked at a box score you would know that most Mets didn’t even get their first hit of 2011 yet and nobody hit a homer. So that raises the question of who will hit the first Met home run of 2011. I think that question will be answered tonight, but who would that be? My prediction is that it will be Carlos Beltran. It doesn’t sound practical to pick a guy who is learning a new position with only 13 at bats in 2011 including spring training. With that short fence in right field, it was really only between two guys for me Ike and Carlos. In each game Carlos has played, he has hit at least one ball hard and on a line. I feel he will get a hold of a Nolasco high fastball or hanging curve tonight. But, the only way to find out is to watch the game.
