I don't care if Keith Law said that Milledge was black, I don't believe a word he says.
If Milledge was an MLB player he'd have won a job, he's not ready nor may ever be.

Milledge will be a B-level major leaguer that is constantly getting into trouble for his shitty attitude; the point is that he still had lots of value to other teams as a trade chip.
Milton Bradley comes to mind, hell the Indians gave him away.
Milledge slapped some fans five after a home run. He also got screaming mad at umps and fucked bitches like Lo Duca and did some questionable rap like Reyes. But he is a young black gangsta, so he had to go, because the Mets cannot offend the traditional sensibilities of a place like New York Fucking City.
Honestly, Biff, you are the Joe Morgan of TNL. Great, you played some ball. Schneider sucks and Church is six years older than Milledge and only a hair better. Milledge could have brought either better players or players than fit better. I could have lived with a high-upside project pitcher like Daniel Cabrera or Ervin Santana or even a middle reliever.
Perhaps his personality didn't register behind the scenes Burg. That ever strike you? Perhaps Reyes said "I am not fucking working with this guy" or maybe it was Delgado, or Wright, or one of a number of people.
Now follow if you will, these guys talk, shit goes to all the teams via agents of other players, players, player's wives, etc. Now New York wants him out ASAP and everybody knows it, so they settle.
??
But by all means blame Omar Burg, because lord knows you could do a better job.....Sitting the bench in little league does not make you an expert in the manner with which teams conduct themselves behind closed doors.
Take that, and Joe Morgan and shove them straight up your New York butt...
Milton Bradley and Carl Everett have anger issues and when they get heated on the field they pretty much get violent. Milledge is not like that at all. Milledge is just a bit immature in the sense that he still acts like a kid. Lastings Milledge will be a met killer.
Its possible that Milledge did things to piss off Mets management off the field (and in the clubhouse) like Paul LoDuca...who the hell knows.
We better ask Burg........
Yup. Like Lo Duca and Kazmir and Cone and Dykstra and Darling and Mitchell and Knight and Tom Fucking Seaver. I bet every one of those guys were hated by their teammates too. Has nothing to do with the ownership that loves professional guys who have had their balls removed.
Hey, maybe Milledge is really a fucking alien from planet Predator, and thus not eligible to play in the big leagues, and Omar had to cut bait before he capped a couple more aliens. That's a fucking possibility.
You're an idiot. Lofton didn't play for so many teams because he was a fabulous team player, neither did Canseco. Both will end up with much better careers than Lastings.
As much as it sucks, outside of Giambi whites get a free pass in baseball, hell Ripken was a motherfucker, but blacks and latino's have a good chance of getting blacklisted and ending up in baseball limbo despite their talent.
You seem literate, so I really don't know what part of "they got nothing they needed" you aren't getting. What you think of his future career isn't relevant. Plus, you know shit not worth a damn about Milledge and his performance to date.
