Why? Church has better lifetime numbers, at a fraction of the cost. You just dont know anything about the guy. Against righties he outperformed every met in 2007 besides Wright and Beltran. Saying Schneider is a downgrade from Lo Duca is an absolute joke. I dont even know how to respond to something like that. You have 2 guys, neither can hit, though Schneider reaches base at a higher level, meanwhile schneider is a top 3 defensive catcher in baseball, and lo duca is not even close to that. So we get a new catcher who got on base at a clip of like 20 points higher, and plays much much better de, and yet that is a downgrade. Also, Church will out perform Milledge in 2008, it is a gauruntee. Milledge is still learning. Probably 2009 also. I feel bad for your parents. It must be embarrasing taking you to restaurants and stuff. Why dont you just go root for the yankees? You would rather have Rowand then Church? Why?

Why? He hits for a nice average, but its all singles, doesnt hit for power, doesnt steal any bases, and doesnt walk much. He is a nice little player, but pretty average. Plus he is already 25.

Only a matter of time I suppose before Livan Hernandez comes to Shea too....get the buffet tables ready.

Man, I am not going to complain about the Met lineup, no matter how old Delgado and Alou are. Schneider and Church would be 3,4 for SF! Keep saying it aloud Bruce, by Spring Training you may have accepted it and stopped crying. Smart move leading San Diego.

Then again, the way everyone is talking, I guess the Nats are the frontrunners now with the great Lastings and LoDuca (with a chip on his shoulder).

He got 60 extra base hit in 681 AB's. Not a huge difference from Victorinos rate. 38/456 That’s like calling Reyes another Ordonez. He got 60 extra base hit in 681 AB’s.
