In his latest Rumblings & Grumblings column at ESPN.com, Jayson Stark reviews the month of April, which he dubbed “a month that really defied logic.” 
According to Stark, the Lastings Milledge for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider trade was the “best deal of the winter that got ripped at the time.”
A scout, as quoted by Stark commented:
“Hell, Ryan Church is that team’s MVP so far,” said one scout, “offensively and defensively. And Schneider is in a system now where his talents are accentuated, because there’s so much emphasis on game-planning and game-calling. Milledge, for me, is just a marginal player with great skills. We’ll see if that changes.”
…i agree with the scout…it is scary to think where this team would be without church playing the way he has so far this season…
