Here...Imagine, for a minute, how a Mets fan feels. Here we've traded a player who was our #1 prospect 2 years ago for a spare outfielder (and he is a spare) and a guy who would go to Spring Training as the 3rd best catcher on the Mets (if the roster stays as is). Not exactly an earth-shattering trade on the Mets' side.<BR/><BR/>Now, if the Mets have any intention of getting <B>ANY</B> pitching in a trade, they've got to give up <B>Carlos Gomez, Mike Pelfrey</B>, and maybe <B>Ruben Gotay.</B> That's draining the team.<BR/><BR/>Plus, we've got 3 mediocre catchers:<BR/><BR/><B>Johnny Estrada</B>, who picks right up behind Paul LoDuca but with a little more defense.<BR/><BR/><B>Ramon Castro</B>, a great offensive player but always hurt.<BR/><BR/><B>Brian Schneider</B>, a great defensive player but not much of a hitter.<BR/><BR/>We Mets fans sure hope there's more in the works.Professional Jackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388309752122512656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744589039561207939.post-75069098148501411092007-12-03T23:45:00.000-05:002007-12-03T23:45:00.000-05:00I don't doubt that it was a good trade, Milledge i...I don't doubt that it was a good trade, Milledge is a good kid and Church and Schneider are both getting up there in years and don't fit with "The Plan." It's just that the trade of Schneider is hard for Nats fans, it's shaken everyone up. The only person who would have been more of a shock to see leave would be Zimmerman. We all realized on Friday that, no, not a single person is safe. We could come back in April to an entirely different team. It's kinda a scary prospect to face.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219134800303495490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744589039561207939.post-57180302939991825592007-12-03T17:06:00.000-05:002007-12-03T17:06:00.000-05:00Well, two things about this trade:One - This trade...Well, two things about this trade:<BR/><BR/>One - This trade is better for the Nats than the Mets.<BR/><BR/>Two - Not to disparage Church or Schneider, but if this was the best trade the Mets could pull off with Milledge, they might have been better off keeping him.Professional Jackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388309752122512656noreply@blogger.com
