He'd be eligible to come off by Monday the 5th of May, which shouldn't be an issue if he isn't able to play the series in Arizona. he’d be retroactive to last Monday, when the Mets played the Cubs.

Church is young. Therefore, Delgado is better than Church. You have to earn it. Not with your play on the field. By aging. Because that's how you get better. Why do people have such a hard time with Willie's logic?? Delgado is a veteran. Church is young. Therefore, Delgado is better than Church. You have to earn it. Not with your play on the field.

I would bet Willy puts Church there as irrational as that might be. Could be wrong though. For some reason, I can’t see Willy moving Delgado to the 7-hole.

Alou still has to make it through BP and stretching, not to mention the long journey out west. I mean, come on. What if there are stairs?? Let’s not count our chickens before they hatch.

Beltran will finally have a competent hitter behind him. Alou's presence will benefit the entire order. Think of it this way - Ryan Church, a decent 5 hitter, will move to the 6-hole. This will be an upgrade of epic proportions over Delgado, who will slide to the 7-hole. I think we can all agree that Delgado's woes will be less worrisome out of the 7-hole than they were out of the 5-hole. Unfortunately, it looks as though Luis Castillo will remain in the 2-hole. Hopefully he can keep it together and stay on the field. That being said, I'd still like to see Endy get more playing time than Pagan as the 4th outfielder/defensive replacement. He is such a better outfielder, hands down. I also like his approach at the plate. Not taking anything away from Pagan who was crucial in a few wins this year, but Endy should stay if one has to go.
