Scott Dierking Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 His trade value did drop. But I dont think he would have been a distraction. Somehow the Yankees always won with asshats in the clubhouse. I would much rather have Milledge over Church, Pagan and Brady Clark. I think Minaya really screwed the pooch on this one, but then again he and Willie are fighting for their jobs. This team must win now. I would much rather have Brian Schneider catching than LoDuca or Estrada. And that is what the trade REALLY was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milledge type players never last long with them I think Milledge will turn out to be a very good player, not quite a star. It was probably the best thing for Milledge to get out of New York, I doubt he would have been successful here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneider has fallen off the last few years... His best years are behind him. I think we traded for what he was, not what he is. The upgrade we get at catching (schneider threw out about 30% base stealers vs 23% for LoDuca) is offset by the lack of offense. And I doubt Loduca is to blame for the pitching sucking down the stretch. Id still rather have the combo of Loduca and Milledge than Church and Schneider. But, we dont. so I root, root, root for the new guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the real reason... We worry about LoDuca's mouth and the roid/hgh and the 18yr olds. We are worried about Milledge and his lack of maturity. We need guys to help us win in 08 or people will be out of a job. I thought LoDuca did fine. But, I aint the GM. I aint privy to the behind the scenes stuff. I hope it works out for us.

Lil Bit Special Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 are you having a one way conversation with yourself in these Mets threads Just taking a trip down memory lane from preseason. Just wanted to see what was said prior to the season and how right or wrong some of us were. I especially like picking on myself for some of the dumb things I said or believed. Always good to take a look back at what you were feeling before the season began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
