The Newark Star-Ledger's M.A. Mehta provides a solid analysis of today's deal between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves on nj.com. In a nutshell, the two teams swapped right fielders.

Mets general manager Omar Minaya believes the 25-year-old Francoeur's defensive skills will have an immediate impact on the team's fortunes, but his bat is the question mark. No doubt the Mets had to improve their outfield defense in the cavernous confines of Citi Field.

This may prove to be a good deal for the Atlanta Braves and a good deal for the New York Mets, but it's strange to see division rivals making mid-season swaps. In simpler terms, both teams were looking to hold a post-Fourth of July lawn sale on their respective right fielders. If anyone makes an offer on the Barcalounger, we'll accept it.

Omar knows Francoeur isn't spanish - right??? Brush up on your espanol Jeff - or you can sit in the corner and talk to David Wright.
