Milledge is already as good as Ryan Church. That is the problem.

Wrong. Where are you getting this from?
edit: where i got the contract info is shady, so I'm not sure when Church is a FA. I'll check cot's. well they just have his year-to-year status. f it.

nowhere - unfortunately my BP subscription lapsed, so I can't go look up both's PECOTAs.
I guess given Lastings' 704 OPS against right handed pitching (small sample), he's got some work to do.
Church should outperform him, but not by much - what's the new Nats ballpark like anyway? I know the old one was the biggest pitchers park in the league so that deflates Church's numbers.

Church was worth more than 7 wins last year. He's rated highly defensive metrics so his Rate stats seem believable. An 800+ OPS in a severe pitcher's park is pretty good. And the Mets get his prime seasons without waiting on any development for Milledge. Milledge would've likely been a well below average regular this season.
