Shows you how little faith they have in Floyd, Chavez or Milledge

 

 

 

Huh? Floyd plays Left Field :banghead . Omar already said yesterday on MLB.com that Floyd is going to start rehabbing soon, his sister just passed for god sakes..

 

The fact that they are trying to get Moises Alou says a bit about how little faith they have in Floyd though.

 

They were, only because the D-Backs were asking too much for Green at the time. It worked -- they gave up a nothing prospect and got money back. Alou is hurt and the playoff roster deadline is rapidly approaching -- I'd be very surprised if Omar did end up getting him.

Floyd plays left, his injury really had minimal impact on the trade. Chavez is a nice player but he's more useful coming off the bench. Milledge just isn't ready -- he's been hitting better lately though.

Floyd has been hurt a little too much for the Mets taste, Chavez is playing over his ability and Milledge, like you said, looks lost out there.

 

So, you mean Green is going to play left and right? Outside of them both being outfielders, their spots on the roster really have no bearing on each other. There has been a rather sizable hole in right since Nady was traded -- that's why they made the trade for Green.

And the Mets continue to improve

A little late, but here's my take:

 

I like the move for the rest of the NL East beyond this season.

 

The Mets are now committed in '07 to Green and Beltran and you have to believe they're going to give every chance to Milledge. Translation: It takes them out of the Soriano and Carlos Lee sweepstakes in the offseason, unless they think of Soriano as a second baseman.

 

For this year though, great move, and they didn't give up anything for him.
