Lastings Milledge (OF), NYM - Recalled
May 30, 2006
News: Milledge was called up to the big league club to replace Xavier Nady on Tuesday.
Views: Milledge is a legitimate top prospect who was showing tremendous progress in AAA this season, particularly with his plate discipline. After posting a 33:88 walk to strikeout ratio between high A and AA last season, Milledge had improved that to 32:42 this season in the high minors. He's still growing into his power a bit, but he can hit well for average, has tremendous speed, and terrific on-base skills. Milledge is one of the top prospects in all of baseball, and should immediately step into a platoon with Endy Chavez in Right Field.
Keeper: Yes
NL only: Yes
Mixed, less than 18 teams: No
Mixed, more than 17 teams: Yes
