Would Church , Reed for Nady not make sense for both the Yanks and Mets?

Nady gives the Mets a RH bat for RF

Church gives the Yanks a guy who can play CF…….Reed would give them depth if they need a defensive replacement and Cabrera can play vs Lefties in CF………..Damon, Matsui, Swisher for LF,RF,DH

That would give the Mets Beltran in CF, Nady in Rf(1B next yr once Delgado is gone) ……..LF Murphy , Tatis and one of the guys brought in which would likely be Sullivan ahead of Anderson or Macowiak

You are 100% right. They had no remotely respectable 3B option in the event of a Wright DL stint. This helps..

He has shown talent- he’s an obvious upgrade from the Molina, Cancel callups we saw last year. They had 4 catchers at one time because of no organizational depth..

If we put together all of these guys, it amounts to 25% of a real outfielder. How many 5th outfielders does this team need? If only we had a #2 and #3 to go along with Beltran. Not sure if Crash in RF qualifies.

It always irks me when fans rate their level of “fan-ness” on the number of years they have followed a team, posted on a website or their level of team worship.

Omar has made great moves and has made dumb ones.

The Wilpons have made some good and bad decisions.

I have been a Met fan since 1966 and I have experienced the good times and bad. I don’t claim to know everything. Nor do I de-value anyone else’s opinion because they have been a fan for a shorter duration. But one thing I do know is that fans are free to worship/like/hate/criticize their players/GM/ownership.

Doing any of these things does not make them any more of less of a fan but rather it is the basis of a diverse fan base.

I step down from the soapbox.

oh and we still need one or two SP and a power righthanded OF.

I guess that this determines F-Mart is in AA next year.

Sheets then Ollie. If you sign Sheets first, it takes a few chips out of Boras’ hand. Added to the fact he’s a better pitcher.

These guys better be trade fodder sooner or later….he has not only overloaded the Mets outfield, but now he’s got too many OF’s in AAA as well.
