The Mets e-mailed me to tell me the BIG NEWS! They traded Ryan Church to the Braves for Jeff Francoeur (had to look that one up spelling-wise!)
So when I received the missive, all it says was 'Mets Acquire Outfielder Jeff Francoeur' - OK good deal. Then we see he was traded for Church, which is essentially a swap of guys who play terrific D. There offensive stats are almost the same. Here's a look:
Church - 67 games, 232 AB, .280 BA, 2 HR, 22 RBI, .707 OPS, 36 K
Francoeur - 82 games, 304 AB, .250 BA, 5 HR, 35 RBI, .634 OPS, 46 K
I guess Frenchy is younger by a few, so he's got that going for him. Great defensive player (but Church wasn't bad either). I guess you have to do something to shake up the troops. I'm sure Jerry is very happy.
