Minaya

Omar Minaya is a crafty GM.  I was very upset when Milledge was traded but so far we have gotten the better half of that deal.  Church has been on a tear this year and a big reason the Mets took out the Yankees this weekend.  Schneider's defense on saturday (he kicked damon's foot off the plate) was a great play to stop a yankees rally in a close game, at that point.  I think he is an all around upgrade from Lo Duca. 

Way to buy low and sell high Omar. 

Great posts, and I have to flat-out say that I was 100% wrong about Minaya after the trade for Church and Schneider. I cursed and pouted and called for his head ... Omar, if you are out there reading this, I won't doubt you again.

Milledge might turn out to be a stud, but the Mets would be in serious trouble right now without Church and Schneider.

looking at current stats and value of the players involved with their current team, that trade was an upright steal..  i wonder what trades/moves he will make to open the 2009 season..

I have always been a fan of Minaya.  I noticed the guy had a keen eye for talent when he made the trade for Perez, who was awful at the time of the trade. Later that year Perez in turn pitches well enough to give the Mets a shot at the World Series and, although erratic at times, won 15 games the next year. 

Good point on Castillo.
