Shawn Green is more of a contact guy this late in his career.
Valentin has been solid all season and can give you some power from the 7 spot.
Endy Chavez has been great as an 8 hitter with speed, average and defense.
I agree with everything you said.

The only thing I don't like about the Mets lineup is that I think they are too susceptible to LHP b/c of the amount of lefties (or switch hitters who hit better as lefties). Their splits against LHP make me think they'll get annihilated by Detroit in the WS b/c of Rogers and Robertson.
I would also say that Valentin is the kind of hitter that scares me in the PS, simply because he's one of those tweener guys who strikes out twice as many times as he walks...
I agree with you about Chavez...he's the kind of player who is immensely more valuable in PS b/c he is a good contact hitter with speed who plays solid D...the Mets are better with him in the lineup than Floyd.
