Lastings

Thank God Baseball is back! It's odd that I live in Chicago and so far both of the games I've seen so far have been Mets games I don't know why ESPN is putting them here but what are you going to do. One thing I'm grateful for is getting to see Mets uber-prospect Lastings Milledge get to play. You may have heard his name mentioned in some Mets trade rumors this offseason and with good reason. This kid is fantastic. He has a quick bat thru the strike zone allowing him to on pitches and then pounce on them. He's got power. He has speed. He has a great arm. He's played good defense. This kid has been doing everything. It would probably be wise to keep him away from Jose Reyes until Milledge learns better plate discipline the one aspect of his game he needs to work on. He appears to be the type of player who when there were rumors of his being traded to Boston for Manny Ramirez would have said "They didn't send me to Boston for Manny, they sent Manny to New York for me".
