I’m at a loss to understand this trade.
It may be true that Brian Schneider is a solid backstop with a good arm, but to give up Lastings Milledge for him and a mid-level, platoon outfielder like Ryan Church — well, that seems foolish, unless this is part of a series of moves that nets the team a starting pitcher.
I’ve been loathe to question Omar Minaya up to now, but this is odd.
