If you made a trade this one-sided with your little brother as a child, you parents would instantly negate the trade and send you to your room. It's like giving your little brother an empty can of Fanta for his Boba Fett. Now, Ryan Church isn't as awesome as Boba Fett, but I don't have to pay a million dollars to an empty can of Fanta either.
Dan Szymborski, analyzing the Jeff Franceour for Ryan Church trade. And I think this is the first time in the history of the universe that the phrase "Ryan Church isn't as awesome as Boba Fett" has ever been said or written.

I had that too, along with Boba Fett’s ship.

I had to check several sites just to make sure this wasn't a hoax.
Quick, offer Young to the Mets for David Wright.

These deals
Are nothing but fodder for the DMN troglodytes who propose trade offers of Blalock, Nate Gold and Joaquin Arias for Matt Cain (‘cause y’know, the Giants need offense and we need pitching).
Thank you New York Metropolitans for feeding the trade un-savvy denizens of DFW
What's the rumpus?

That's too much to give up for a scrub like Church
Francoeur has 4 things going for him:
1) He finished 3rd in ROY voting!!!!!
2) He’s topped 100 RBI two times his career!!!!
3) He won a Gold Glove!!!!
4) His nickname is FRENCHY!!!!
Meanwhile, Church:
1) Has never had a 100 RBI season
2) Only had 22 fewer strikeouts than Frenchy in 2007
3) Has never won a gold glove
4) Has no nickname
Atlanta Stole this one.

So maybe this means V Zambrano for Kazmir
wasn’t Steve Phillip’s fault? That there is something in the water?

JC Bradbury's Twitter
I had a dream last night that the Braves traded Francoeur to the Mets for Ryan Church. LOL! There is no way that could really happen.
As much as he’s killed the Braves for continuing to play Frenchy every day these last few years, JC has to be ecstatic this morning. This is like Christmas for him.

I liked Dave's line in the comments, in response to the first one
Retired tomorrow? This is a good trade for the Braves if Church died yesterday.
Get on base or die, Salty.
