Mets make a trade
The Mets have completed a significant deal, sending outfielder Lastings Milledge to the Nationals for catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church, according to major-league sources.
The deal, first reported by WFAN, will reunite Mets general manager Omar Minaya with Schneider and Church, two players he had with the Expos.
Schneider, 32, will become the Mets' starting catcher, replacing Johnny Estrada, whom the team recently acquired from the Brewers for reliever Guillermo Mota.
Church, a left-handed hitter, likely will be the Mets' starting right fielder after hitting 43 doubles and 15 homers last season. Milledge, a right-handed hitter, is seven years younger than Church, and the type of athletic outfielder favored by Nationals GM Jim Bowden.
The Mets proposed sending Estrada along with Milledge to the Nationals, one source says, but the Nats apparently balked at the idea. If the Mets fail to trade Estrada in the coming weeks, they likely will decline to offer him a contract.

I think this is a good trade. We needed a strong catcher. Next up is pitching. We NEED some good pitching to send us over the top!
What do you think?
Let's Go Mets!

ARod
What do you think? Would he be useful or just whiny? I know he is a good player, but I just don;t see him fitting in on the team or doing well. I have a feeling he would sit on his rear until his contract year and then do well. He sort of did that with the Yankees.
Any comments?
Let's go Mets!!!
