I am not a Mets fan and I think it is a terrible deal. All the talk around NY is that the Mets need a frontline pitcher. So they go out and trade one of thier biggest chips for another outfielder and a above average catcher. I thought given the chance (which he really never had) that Milliage had the chance to be a very special player with the Mets. Now that he will be out of the spotlight and playing everyday I think he will be an All-Star in the next couple of years. If the Mets wanted Schineder that bad then maybe they could have traded Carlos Gomez and a another minor leaguer and still ended up with him. I just think that they could have gotten a hell of a lot more than the 2 that they did.
