Lastings Milledge 2008
Only one walk so far in 41 plate appearances. Not an encouraging sign for Milledge. Bill James pointed out in his Gold Mine that Lastings rarely swings at balls inside, but swings at more than half of the outside balls he gets. If he keeps this trend up, he goes from being one of the top 10 center fielders in the game to being merely average or worse, depending on his defensive game.

Somebody note the date:as of 4/10/2008, this trade looks like a good one for the Mets. Brian Schneider and Ryan Church are both OBP-ing .400 or better. It may be all downhill from here, so enjoy it while you can.

It isn't like he's having a terrible start. He's still got the 2nd best OBP to Nick Johnson on the Nats.
