April 16, 2008
Ryan Church was moved into the second spot in the Mets order, and on Wednesday night he had two hits, two runs scored and one RBI. One of the hits was a HR, and he is now hitting .340 on the year.
April 9, 2008
Ryan Church has fared well against Kyle Kendrick, today's opposing hurler for Philadelphia, according to MLB.com. Church has generated two singles, one home run, and two walks over nine career plate appearances versus Kendrick. Church is off to a solid start as he is hitting 8-for-24, with one homer and six RBI, and looks to have a good day at the plate today.
April 2, 2008
Ryan Church lined a home run into the right field seats and picked up two other hits on Wednesday for the Mets. Church also had two other hits and knocked in three runs on the day. Given 500 AB, there is no reason to think that Church will fail to turn in a 20 HR, 80 RBI season, and if he is able to reach those levels he would seem to be a fine depth outfielder.
April 1, 2008
With the Mets facing a right-hander Tuesday, Ryan Church has moved from seventh to sixth in the lineup, switching spots with Angel Pagan. The rest of the lineup remained the same from the previous day and will likely stay that way for the most part until Moises Alou returns.
March 27, 2008
Ryan Church went 3-for-5 with an RBI against Atlanta on Thursday. He needed a solid outing as he raised his average to .229, and remains the projected favorite to start in right field for the Mets this season.
March 25, 2008
Manager Randolph commented on Ryan Church , according to MetsBlog.com. Randolph said, "He’s getting better and better. He’s had a lot of at bats, he’s taking some pitches, and he’s good that way. I just want to keep seeing him make the progress hitting the ball the other way, and getting the ball through the middle, that’s where he’s gonna make his money…He’s a little bit behind, so he needs at bats, but he’s got plenty of time to get ready…If he just hits the ball the other way against against lefties, he’s gonna be fine…We want him to see him get his hits to build his confidence, but I’m not looking at him as having to get hits to get on our team, obviously. He’s going to be my right fielder." Church makes a favorable late round draft selection.
March 21, 2008
Ryan Church, hitting a robust .152, still has confidence that he will be able to produce for the Mets this season thanks to a new batting stance, this according to MLB.com. "It feels better when I'm loading," Church says. "I feel more balanced. I keep my hands lower, too, so now I don't drop the barrel so much. And I'm using my legs more. ... When I do it right, it works well." Church figures to be the full-time RF this season for the Mets, a fact that many people have seemed to overlook as Church is being taken very late in drafts. He likely isn't a breakout candidate, but a 20 HR, 80 RBI season appears within reach.
March 9, 2008
Ryan Church returned to exhibition action on Saturday after missing time with a concussion, according to the New York Daily News. "Willie (Randolph) asked me if I wanted another day (off), but I wanted to get out there," Church said. "I'm a little fatigued, a little tired, but other than that, no headaches or dizzy spells. I feel good. I didn't think about it at all ... and now I can just put it behind me. I know I can play (today) if I feel like I do right now." It looks like Church is good to go and should be fine for opening day.
March 7, 2008
Ryan Church hopes to return to exhibition action on Saturday, according to the New York Daily News. That may be wishful thinking, as he awoke Thursday with dizziness, though he felt fine later in the day after taking medication. Church will have to be free of concussion symptoms for two consecutive days before receiving medical clearance to play.
March 5, 2008
Ryan Church experienced a set back in his return from a concussion after experiencing dizziness on Wednesday, this according to MLB.com. "Not a good day," Church said. "Yesterday, I felt fine. Today, not so much." With Moises Alou out 4-6 weeks due to a hernia operation, the Mets will need to bring someone in to fill in for the two, that is unless they believe Endy Chavez will be healthy enough to start by opening day.
March 4, 2008
Ryan Church ran on a treadmill in a pool Tuesday, his first activity since sustaining a Grade III concussion on Saturday, and reported no dizziness, according to the AP. "It’s a good sign, a good start," he said. "I feel a lot better." He'll find out Wednesday from the training staff what his next step will be, though he hopes he'll be taking batting practice soon. If he continues to recover without a setback, Church should be ready for the start of the season.
March 2, 2008
Ryan Church has been diagnosed with a Grade III concussion following his collision with Marlon Anderson on Saturday, according to the New York Daily News. That's the middle of three grades of severity given for concussions. He won't be allowed to play until all the symptoms have subsided, so consider him week-to-week at this point.
March 1, 2008
Ryan Church collided with Marlon Anderson during Saturday's spring game, according to the New York Daily News. The Mets confirmed that Church sustained a concussion. "He doesn’t remember anything about anything," said Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said. "He doesn’t remember going out to catch the ball. He doesn’t remember the collision. He’s able to walk. His jaw is sore. But he’s a little woozy." It sounds like Church will be out for at least a little while, but for how long will depend on the severity of the concussion. We'll have more news for you as it becomes available.
February 17, 2008
Ryan Church will have the inside track to start in RF for the Mets according to a report in the AP. "My goal this spring training is to focus more on hitting off lefties. If there's opportunities to step in against these guys during BP, anything like that." Church struggled to hit lefties last year (.229) though he is slightly better against southpaws in his career (.254). If Church can overcome this deficiency he could be a nice 4th OF in mixed leagues with the potential to hit 20 HR with 80 RBI.
February 8, 2008
The Mets avoided going to arbitration with Ryan Church by signing him to a one-year deal on Thursday afternoon, according to the New York Daily News. Acquired from the Nats in late November, Church will make $2 million next season.
