More at www.metscitiblog.com-----------------------------------------------------------------------------The Daily News has a great article on Ryan Church and his family. In it, Church talks about his brothers, Matt back from Iraq and Andy a guard at the Colorado State Penitentiary. Church also talks about the struggles of going through the concussions last year and how happy he really is in New York, ending with the statement, "I love New York-it's where I want to finish my career." He is in Florida this off-season working out at the National's complex. I have to say Church became a quick fan favorite and an exciting player to watch. I sense that he plays the game the way it should be played, tough and professionally. I really look for him to break out this year. He is a great defender with a strong arm and a serious power threat, with great doubles potential.In fact, in 2007 he had 43 doubles in only 470 at bats. Church in the two hole sounds great to me. He has a strong bat and a good on base percentage for his career (.347). I think Reyes does well with Church behind him. Against a lefty, I go with Beltran behind him. Luis Castillo is a solid number 8 hitter if you ask me. If you were to tell me that Orlando Hudson were coming to New York however, there is your number 2 hitter.
