Ryan Church will be the Mets starting right fielder

Following up "Daniel Murphy will be the Mets starting left fielder," we have this...

Ryan Church will start in right.

Via Adam Rubin:
“I figured I’d talk to him,” Church said. “I knew all I had to do was talk to him. He’s very approachable. He’ll tell you how it is. He came up to me and said, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ You’re getting prepared to be the everyday right fielder for the Mets.’ That’s what my whole goal is.”
Good.

This keeps Fernando Tatis, a right hander, on the bench, giving the Mets one player in that category. I'm very happy with Jerry Manuel, so far.
