(By Brett Kahn with interview by Billy Huffman)Before spring training game against the Atlanta Braves yesterday, OF Ryan Church talked to amazin' Amazins correspondent Billy Huffman about various topics...
(On joining the Mets) "It's an exciting time. This team is built to win now...There is no longer any talk of last year. The only focus is to start this year fresh. We have the ability to reach our goals."
(On friend and teammate Brian Schnieder) "Brian was a very important person in my professional development. He was a mentor to me when I joined the major leagues and will be a very important part of the Mets."
(On playing only right field) "When I came here, they told me that that was going to be the position that I would play. So far, that has been the case. Obviously I think this team has taken great steps to be a contender. We have quality in all positions and have improved our starting pitching...I'm happy to be here."
Church has definitely begun to fit in with the club, especially defensively making a number of nice catches during the spring. Although he missed a week due to a concussion earlier in the spring, Church feels that he is ready to add to an already stellar lineup.
