Other Reactions

You already know what I think of the trade, but here are some other reactions, which seem to be quite contrary. (Note: he will bat 5th tonight and play right field, while wearing the number 12.)

Matthew Cerronne says it "doesn't matter", but also adds that he thinks it plays into an overall plan.

Mets Merized (I do not agree) says this means F-Mart and others could be on the way out.

Mets Minor League Blog hates the trade.

Metstradamus rants about it as promised, although he hated the original Church trade, and the Delgado trade.

Andrew Vazzano over at TheRopolitans (who will be on Mets Weekly today), says that the Mets " got a 5 years younger Church".

Eddie D'Anna says that he will give Francoeur a chance.

Braves Blast has there take on it.
