Trade Church?

The Mets have signed a bunch of similar lefthanded OF who are collectively labeled good defense, ok offense. No one you would want to start as your primary banger in the outfield but serviceable types of players. Now why would the Mets sign all of these leftys, knowing that a right handed hammer is what is needed? What if these moves are a precursor to a more major series of moves. What if the Mets were looking to trade Ryan Church and his $2.8 M salary to clear a little financial wiggle room. What if Daniel Murphy,Cory Sullivan or Jeremey Reed were actually going to get the chance to play on a regular basis in the Mets OF? What would the Mets do for the hammer right handed bat? Could the Mets then add a right handed hitter by the name of Manny to be the hammer? Could we live with Beltran, Manny, and Reed? Would that mean that Omar would downgrade from Ollie to fill out the rotation? How about adding Braden Looper who has a remarkably similar ERA to Ollie at a fraction of the cost? How about dumping Brian Schneider as part of this plan to save an additional $4.9M? Maybe add Pudge at a discounted rate to platoon with Castro? Could we live with this lineup:
Reyes
Beltran
Manny
Wright
Delgado
Pudge
Murphy
Castillo
The budget would be at about $145 M of someone else's dollars. No Ollie or Lowe, but a solid rotation with a very good bullpen. Are the Mets just hiding in the weeds to see if they can steal Manny the way they stole Santana? Something to think about.
