~These are the stats if Lastings Milledge is the starting RF in 2007 like he should be. Milledge has come to camp in the best shape of his life. Milledge was heavily scrutinized for not going to Winter Ball. But Milledge said he wanted to go home and lift weights. The Results? Milledge comes back with 15! pounds of muscle, and a new healthy diet. All this? Milledge is hitting .381 in spring (Yes I know its spring training but that's alot better then Shawn Greens .161?)
Lastings Milledge doesn't have to be the 20+ 100+ rbi guy to make this team better.. This team has enough offense that Milledge would be batting 7th. It's more important that Milledge does something Green can't do, and that's play defense. This takes a heavy burden off Beltran's shoulders, and makes the OF defense alot better. Also Milledge provides speed at the bottom of the lineup.
