November 27, 200520 yr Take a look at Joe Sheehan's opinion of Milledge: Lastings Milledge: The people who like him really like him. Me, I see a guy who looks smaller than advertised, and who doesn't have the speed for center field, the plate discipline to be a great hitter or the power to make you not care about the other two things. True story: When we submitted our names for last year's Top 50 Prospects, which each writer does based on the teams he covers for the book, I didn't even submit Milledge. He was eventually added, but I remain unimpressed. Perhaps the FO was on to this as well and saw more value in Jacobs and Petit. Only time will tell, but this could end up being another one of Beinfest's better trades.
November 27, 200520 yr I don't rely very much on what "writers" say. I'd rather go with the opinion of a real scout. I could just as well be a writer and go watch these guys play ball and then write up a "top 50 prospect list."
