News: Church will start in right field on Saturday and will initially platoon in right field with Matt Diaz, the Braves' official web site reports.
Analysis: It sounds like the Atlanta outfield will be in flux initially with Church, Garret Anderson and Matt Diaz competing for playing time between left and right field.

News: Church has been traded to the Braves for Jeff Francouer, according to several NY papers.
Analysis: Manager Jerry Manuel never seemed to warm to Church, regardless of how well he played, and he now gets a chance to play every day in right field for the Braves. The odd aspect of this deal is to see two contenders in the same division dealing with each other.
