That’s more than Laroche got from Arizona and probably more than Damon will get. Nice work, Omar. I’m not a big fan of what Wren has done this offseason, but getting rid of Jeffy was one of his best moves.

Frenchy gets traded and goes over there and does a decent job and raises his stats significantly,except his OBP, which he raised more than what he did for the Braves, just not by much. He finished with an avg. 311 OBP .338 slg% .498 for an OPS of .836 and a wOBA 0f .350 and to a lesser degree of importance a BABIP 0f .343. Pretty respectable really, not to mention 10 homers in the 2nd half. Ryan Church would still be a Brave if he had been given the chance to put up those numbers and would have been resigned before arb. The Mets were not going to let go a player that turned it around like Frenchy did for them so they signed him instead of letting it go to arbitration. Now, stop and think for a moment and try not to remember how much he pissed you all off, I would sign him for 1 year at the close to arbitration price of 5 mil. too, especially if I had the Mets fan base, the sucker brings them into the stadium. Incidentally,what pisses me off about him is in 2009 he finally got his SO’s down to less than a 100 (93) and what really pissed me off was he only had 13 gidp but, 10 of them were for the Braves. He might be bad again but something changed for him going to the Mets, I predicted he would do better when he was traded and I think he’s still going to be a free swinger but will be like Vlad not Failcoeur.

I’m sorry,but I think a lot of people who predicted Frenchy would be just as bad for the Mets as for the Braves are disappointed he put up respectable stats for the Mets. If he had not been traded and stayed here and put up the same 2nd half numbers I wonder what the Braves FO would offer him. I can understand the Braves fans disliking him getting better for the enemy, what I don’t understand is the animosity towards him from the Mets fans. is a BA of .311 and OPS of .836 so bad? Look at his stats since becoming a Met, if he does the exact same thing for the whole season in 2010 he’ll have 22 HR’s with 82 runs and 90 rbi’s, to predict he won’t sustain that is possibly true, but don’t forget you predicted he would suck at the all star break and he didn’t go along with it. I predict he will sustain the change, maybe even better. I personally hope he does well, but I hope he doesn’t get any HR’s against the Braves. A player with those stats doesn’t suck, Melky Cabrera sucks for 3.1 mil. Btw don’t call his batting avg. luck then turn around and call hitting into an unassisted double play something to expect.

Justin, a BA is what it is,BABIP is as I read a fancy way to say he got lucky. I guess an OPS of 836 is useless and something to not pay attention to? I’m only using his stats as a Met not the whole year,yes he has a low BB% but everything else is worthless?

He also made contact more, I don’t understand it, leaves me wondering if Sheffield might make a good hitting coach.

Milky sucks just as bad as Jeff & is not worth 3 million. The funniest thing in that Mets thread is calling JoJo a MLB ready pitcher. Ha ha ha ha ha!
