We are 7 weeks into the season. There has been some pleasant surprises like the Rays, Marlins, Orioles, and A's. There has been some major disappointments like the Tigers, Rockies, and Padres.
So at this point in the season what is your teams best or most pleasant transaction from the off season.
As a Mets fan obviously getting Santana was a huge upgrade for this team. However the nicest transaction so far from the off season has turned out to be the Milledge for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider trade.
We all knew that Ryan Church and Schneider were good blue collar players that the Mets needed. But the production on both the offense and defense the Mets have gotten out of them has been a major boost to this team.
Lastings Milledge has a nice upside to him. He can be an all-star some day, but right now this deal has been an absolute steal for the Mets.
Ryan Church has a good chance to be on the All-star team as a RF. He plays great defense, has an above-average arm, and has knocked the cover off the ball for the first 7 weeks.
Schneider has been as advertised defensively. Offensively he doesn't have the power numbers, but when your 8th hole catcher is hitting 300+ you'll take it.
So tell me about your teams pleasant surprise or best offseason transaction and lets discuss.
