Smizzy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Get his head on straight and some more practice running the bases. Who doesn't run on a 2 out fly ball? Send him down Willie...he needs some time to mature and fine tune his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send him down Willie...he needs some time to mature and fine tune his game. agree,, the luxury of running away with division is being able to allow him to season a bit more at AAA and then bring him up when AAA ends at end of august for Oct playoff roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Milledge needs more seasoning and learning by playing everyday- it is good though he has gotten exposure to what it is like at major level. Stand by my statement from the beginning that no way we should have looked to trade him for Zito!MAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 teach him some english to while there at it Maybe we should teach YOU some English, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 send melky down too since hes only hitting 266.. teach him some english to while there at it Racist statement much? Only hitting .266 for a 21 year old who has showed an awesome glove in the outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Racist statement much? Only hitting .266 for a 21 year old who has showed an awesome glove in the outfield. Plus, the power that he has shown at the corner outfield position is exactly what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 You need power at every position? It is usually a prerequisite at corner outfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENSMACKS Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 milledge has a gun arm and has made great plays too. trade floyd to the yanks to join the nursing home patients the yanks field everyday instead of sending down milledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martz Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 They have no one who comes close to being this young and talented. He has nothing more to prove in AAA. Delgado,Wright, and Bektran will show him the right way to handle himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 He'll be fine. SJ is right - they have the luxury of letting him learn in the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Plus, the power that he has shown at the corner outfield position is exactly what you want. And the Yankees have had such a fine run of LFers that hit for power in recent years. Matsui aside I am not sure how Melky can fill the shoes of Dion James. A lot is expected of him. The Yankees get above average power from SS and C. They have power at 1st and 3rd. If Sheff returns later this year they have it in RF. Power is not the Yankees problem. Too much power and relying on it is why they have not won the WS in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Was somebody really ignorant enough to say Pujols is faking an injury because Grimsley named him to the feds? Please tell me it was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 The kid is fun to watch. Keep him in the bigs because it's not like he's hurting the Mets at this point. Unless Pedro, Glavine, Wagner, Delgado, and Wright go down the Mets are running away with this thing. Let the kid play on a team where his mistakes won't be put under a microscope because at the end of the day they won't be bad enough to cost the team games.
