Well, Ryan Church and Brian Schneider are just giant floating garbage scows of suck, injury and fleeting hitting streaks that make you pull your hair out.
Frankly, I'd rather have nothing than those guys, Schneider's position would be filled with a better hitting catcher by default because dude just cannot hit his way out of a paper sack and Church is so streaky and one-side-of-the-plate and stupid about himself physically that it'd probably be better where if you're gonna call up Fernando Martinez two years too early like an idiot, just have the dude play every single day to develop him instead of having to mix a dud like Church into the mix.
Nothing or a guy with some ceiling injured down in AAA is still better than Ryan Church and Brian Schneider because then, at least, the Mets would be forced to acquire or play players who actually know how to hit the baseball... or develop other players to a similar point.
Being pot-committed to two players who have no business as starting major league ball players just because they were starting on a team that didn't care about winning, because your GM liked them when he was working for their former team and has something to lose reputationally by admitting they suck, is worse than nothing.
If they could be utilized as bench players, maybe two cheap okay bench players are worth more than a guy injured in AAA...
But as horrible starters, bleh. Zero is better than those two pieces of utter dross starting.
