I like Church but I think we've seen him as good as he'll be. A good #6 hitter, semi-dangerous against righties, not feared against lefties, an excellent fielder, needs some love and support to avoid losing confidence (don't we all). Francoeur has more upside than Church but his upside, '06 and '07, may have come and gone. If new surroundings can help him get back to even close to that level, it's a good trade for the Mets. If he doesn't improve on his current level, then it's not. Because of the greater upside, and given that we're looking toward the 2010 Mets, I like the deal. However, I fear that since Bobby Cox, who is smarter than what we've got, couldn't turn him around, then he won't improve. At minimum, it shows that Omar is alive and since he's the only GM we've got, that's nice to see.
