Last night saw Jeff Francoeur and Ryan Church step onto the field in their respective new team colors.

As we reported on Friday, the Braves traded an under-performing outfielder, Jeff Francoeur, to the Mets for an under-performing outfielder, Ryan Church. My theory? The general managers were just bored. Saturday's Dugout is after the jump.The Dugout: The Most Even Trade Ever originally appeared on Fanhouse...

So far, the analysis of today's trade of outfielders between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets has focused solely on the players exchanged—Ryan Church and Jeff Francoeur.
Defensively, as some other writers have noted, the trade is a wash. Francoeur has the better arm, but Church has a slight edge on range.
Both have fallen out of favor with their managers, for different...

But the game was lost in the seventh, an inning...
