Mets-Nats trades

The Mets and Nationals completed 2 trades within the last year. One was last offseason, involving Lastings Milledge going to the Nats for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church. The other was in August, when the Mets traded Anderson Hernandez for Luis Ayala. Here’s a quick look at how each has performed against their former organization:

Church: 70 PA, .271/.362/.475, 3 HR, 13 RBI, .837 OPS
Schneider: 55 PA, .294/.345/.588, 4 HR, 10 RBI, .934 OPS
Ayala: 3 G, 2.1 IP, 0.00 ERA, 2 K, 0 BB, 3 saves

Milledge: 71 PA, .203/.282/.250, 0 HR, 3 RBI, .532 OPS
Hernandez: 19 PA, .235/.316/.294, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .610 OPS

Church and Schneider have torched the Nats this year, while Milledge has struggled mightily against the Mets. He did have a decent series this week though. I’ll hold off until the season is over to determine which team got the better of each trade for 2008.
