Saturday, July 11, 2009Church for Francoeur swapPosted by Derek Carty at 11:45amIf you haven't heard, yesterday the Mets and Braves swamped OFs Ryan Church and Jeff Francoeur. Apparently, Mets GM Omar Minaya wanted to send a message, which leaves me wondering if said message was, "I have no idea what I'm doing. Please fire me before I mess things up any further." (Sorry, as a Mets fan, this jab is mandated. Be thankful I'll stop here  .)From a fantasy perspective, both players probably figure to be helped by the trade in the way of more playing time/better job security. Francoeur should play pretty regularly in RF for the Mets (as unqualified as he is to do so) and could find himself batting fifth for a while. Church's situation is a little less clear. He could play regularly or platoon with someone like Matt Diaz. We'll have to wait and see what Bobby Cox does. He'd be the better half of the platoon, though, and his power could be helped by Turner Field. If he winds up in a full-time role (or near full-time role), he could warrant a pickup in all 12-team mixed leagues. Derek Carty, 23, has also been published by NBC's Rotoworld, Sports Illustrated, FOX Sports, and USA Today. This season, he'll be contributing to FanDuel and will be linking to all of his work at DerekCarty.com. In his three years competing in expert leagues, he has won 2 titles with 4 top three finishes, including a LABR NL title in 2009, making him the youngest person to ever win a major expert league title. Derek is a proud graduate of the MLB Scouting Bureau's Scout Development Program and is a firm believer in the importance of combining stats and scouting. He welcomes questions via e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter.

I feel compelled to link to our friend Sam Page’s post on the trade at Amazin’ Avenue: http://www.amazinavenue.com/2009/7/11/945488/more-thoughts-on-the-jeff
Nothing fantasy relevant, but it might help a bit if you’re a Mets fan.
