Not to mention he is much younger than Schneider and This year he has hit 26 doubles and batted .255 while playing very very solid defense. The Phillies also have a great lineup from number 1 thru 7 in the batting order. Cant compare Ruiz and Schneider. The Mets lineup isn't good enough, even when healthy, to win with Castillo, Schneider, Pitcher in the 7 thru pitcher spot. Especially with ZERO power.

I hated the deal when we brought him in for Milledge. How can any winning baseball team put together a lineup with Castillo, Schneider, Pitcher being your 7 thru 9 hitters! That is a terrible lineup. It was even bad with Church, Schneider, Castillo, Pitcher... Our organization is clueless but it would be COMPLETELY clueless if they brought in a catcher who hits .200 for the year. Someone who is in support of bringing Schneider the bum back to our team for another season please name ONE winning team in baseball that has a catcher as bad as Schneider.

Wow. I'd rather have Armando Benitez come out of retirement as a converted catcher. Brian Shneider doesn’t look so bad? Wow.

But there are no good options for behind the plate. When Omir Santos is a legit option, you know there's nothing out there. I wouldn't mind getting Barajas to be the primary guy with Omir's "short little swing" off the bench. Just sign a guy who's really cheap, will only need a one-year deal and won't cost a draft pick (aka NOT BENGIE MOLINA) Yeah, the lack of interest between Torrealba and the Mets will completely come from Torrealba’s side, and I don’t blame him.

After the way things went between him & the Mets last time, I would hope that HE has enough pride to not talk to the Mets -- because if he doesn't, then he's not the kind of guy I want on the Mets.
