IMO, a move needs to be made even IF Church “returns”. Post concussion syndrome symptoms can flare up at any time, so there will always be uncertainty with Church.

Pick a Winn or Ibanez and tell him the LF is his. While Church is out, a Chavez/Tatis platoon isn’t the worst thing in the world. In the unlikely event that Church is “fine” and ready to play, then Chavez and Tatis go back to bench, which only makes that spot stronger.’

Omar cannot afford to wait until after reality strikes Chavez and Tatis… he has to strike the irons WITH the mindset that these hot streaks will come crashing down eventually, and that Church is out for the season. Omar can’t do this any other way.

Not a huge drop off from Alou? What are you smoking..please send me stuff. If Alou plays, he puts up all star quality numbers. Tatis no where near that

the Mets would be smart to include a Delgado for Helton swap in a trade for Holliday. This would give Colorado salary relief for next year and forward, and it wouldnt cost the Mets as much in prospects and actually increase production at 1B. Kind of an NBA approach to the trade, but makes sense with these smaller spending teams.

Helton’s contract is awful (57 mil for the next 3 years) and Helton would clog 1B for 3 years, but it might be worth it to get Holliday and keep some prospects.

maybe tatis’ intro music (theme from superman)? they used indiana jones music for Pagan, so that’s all I could guess…

Yeah, that Aquina guy is terrible. Do you mean Aguila?

Ibanez can play, hes not perfect but he is hitting .277 with 10HRs and 53 RBI’s.

He would be a nice upgrade in LEFT.

By the way, Holliday is still a good hitter away from home (.314 avg). Just not much of a power hitter away from home.

He would be a nice player in NY, but probably not a superstar.
His numbers may ironically look similar to Church’s if they are both playing here.

Plus, mpre than anyone else, Marlon is relied on to be a threat off the bench.

I hope he gets it going, because as we saw in 05 and in 07 he can be a lethal PH…he’s just made for the job.

Yeah you are seeing a short flash from Tatis and Endy, but over the long haul Randy Winn is a real good, professional ML player offensively and defensively. We could do ALOT worse.

No we can can give him Evans’ spot and Pagan Aguila’s spot.
