This morning, Bart Hubbuch of the Post gives us another reason to be pumped up about the Mets prospect who is in St. Lucie for his first spring training.

Church Holds Key to Mets Offense
The Mets desperately needed Manny, and Manny at least needed them to compete for his services. Both sides will go unfulfilled in this winter’s “Manny Maniaâ€. Now that it’s clear that the Manny dream is over, what do we make of the 2009 Mets on offense? It’s the same team that scored 799 runs ...
