Lopsided Trade?

Yeah it was... but what's done is done.  Milledge is gone.  But the outfielder we do get will be just as productive in 2008 as Milledge will be. His name?  Ryan Church, our new regular right fielder.  After the retirement of Sean Green, it looks like that our new regular out in right will be Church.  Besides a concussion Ryan suffered in spring training because of a collision with Marlon Anderson you could pretty much pencil him in as our every day right fielder for 2008.  How will he do, you ask?  He should be an above-average hitter.  Having a weak right field wall will help him considering Shea's right field wall is closer then RFK and he did have the most doubles (43) on the Nats last season.  In '07 Church batted .272 with 15 HRs and 80 RBIs, if he improves his batting against lefties we should be in good shape.  His solid glovework in right field will also help out our outfield.  Yeah, in the future Milledge will only get better considering he is turning 23 this year compared to Church's turning 30, but Church should be an above average right fielder that could help out our batting order and fielding.

2008 Predictions: .277,  19 HRs,  82 RBIs, .828 OPS,  55 BBs

2008 NL East RF Predictions:

1) Jeff Francoeur(Atl): Yeah his 2006 season was alot better but he will still be solid in 2008 and undoubtedly the best right fielder in the NL East.

2) Austin Kearns (Wash):  Kearns was on teh brink of 30 Jacks when he played in Cincy in 2006 but getting traded to Washington did not help him, but he is still a decent power hitter who should bat around .270 with 20+ homers.

3) Ryan Church ( NYM): If he stays consistent he should hit around 40-45 doubles and drive in over 85 runs which would help out this all star lineup just fine.

4) Geoff Jenkins ( Philthy): After 10 years in the Brewing capital of the US, you leave and go to the most disgusting city in America.  You don't deserve any credibility as an athlete. However you will still be better then Jeremy Hermida.

5) Jeremy Hermida ( Fla):  Sorry, but youre young, and you will get better.
