Pittsburgh Pirates - Acquired OF Lastings Milledge and P Joel Hanrahan from
the Washington Nationals for OF Nyjer Morgan and P Sean Burnett
Let's get the Nats side of the trade out of the way first. Morgan's not a
good offensive player and a 350/350 season is pretty much what he can
reasonable expected to top out at. As long as he's 10-15 runs better than
average in centerfield, where he's likely to be when all is said and done,
he's a usable player somewhere around league-average. Problem is, Morgan
turns 29 in a few days and defensive aging among baseball players isn't a
curve, but a line, pointing down. Sure, he could be like Mike Cameron and
play good defense in center forever, but that's not typical. A team like the
Nationals should see upside in every player they pick up and I just don't see
where the upside is in Morgan. He's not particularly disciplined, he's
unlikely to develop any power or improve defensively, so where's the payoff?
I hated the Milledge trade from the perspective of the Mets, but sitting
there at Thanksgiving '07, the idea that Church could possibly develop into a
.875-.900 OPS player wasn't something that was induced from sniffing airplane
glue.
The same goes for the Burnett-Hanrahan part of the swap. Burnett's upside is
a solid LOOGY with unimpressive stuff. Hanrahan hasn't been great (and his
peripherals suggest a better ERA than he's shown), but if he works out, you
have a classic big fastball/slider shutdown reliever. Obviously, I think
Hanrahan is a terrific pickup for the Pirates and way to turn a commodity
into something with upside.
That brings us to Milledge, saved for last for obvious reasons. Yes, Milledge
has been disappointing and his behavior has frequently left much to be
desired. But against that, you have the fact that people in their early-20s
aren't exactly known for their amazing levels of maturity and that turning
prospects into players and boys into men is their job. Some of the reports
about Milledge in New York and Washington have been ridiculous - at times,
you can almost tell that the "unnamed sources" speaking to beat reporters are
just straining to not use the word "uppity" when Milledge commits such crimes
against humanity like high-fiving fans in a moment of joy and excitement or
an interest in rap music. I know that 60-year-old white guys have more
important matters, like getting half a billion dollars in corporate welfare
from local governments, to attend to, but it would be nice if certain
organizations would be able to deal with prospects that aren't either nice,
clean-cut white boys who love Jesus and listen to country music or eager
immigrants who used milk cartons as gloves and desperately want to send money
home to their family overseas.
As a player, Milledge has showed flashes at times, coming back from a groin
injury last year to hit 299/355/448 in the second half. 2009 has been a
disaster for Milledge, but a disaster essentially consisting of 100 PA. The
idea that Milledge is done at 24 because of a bad month and a broken hand is
absolutely ridiculous. Yes, Milledge needs to show less indifference with his
defense, but it's a two-way street - organizations need to show less
indifference towards Milledge's future, as well and do their ####### jobs.
Is Pittsburgh the right destination? I don't really know. At least they have
the right idea, get upside for no-upside. But will the organization nurture
Milledge as a player, treat him like a valued member of the organization
rather than an annoyance every time he does something that may not be Brent
Bozell-friendly? That remains to be seen.
