November 15, 200619 yr Padres acquired RHP Heath Bell and LHP Royce Ring from the Mets for outfielder Ben Johnson and RHP Jon Adkins
November 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) No doubt in my mind. Milledge is getting traded this off-season. And I think it will be to the White Sox. The question I have is if he can be our starting CF or LF next year?

November 15, 200619 yr We should be able to get Milledge AND more from the Mets in exchange for Garcia. The amount that organizations are willing to pay for pitching these days are absolutly ridiculous. It's only a matter of time before the pieces fall into place.

November 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) Be right, please. I thought you meant right field. That would be absurd.

November 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) I'll pass on that. He's ridiculously over-rated. Not to start an argument, but may I ask why you say that? His minor league stats suggest he looks to be a pretty darn good player. Not the greatest, but pretty darn good. Career minor league numbers, .308 batting, .385 OBP, .860 OPS, and his #'s in his last full minor league season, 2005 at AAA, were better in every one of those categories. His SB #'s leave some room for improvement, as does his SB %age, but that may well be something he could be taught. Strikeouts are a little high, but he also takes a good number of walks.

That was 2005 at A-, A+, and AA http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/l...-milledge.shtml It is good to see that while he hit at a worse clip, his OBP stayed in the same neighborhood.
November 16, 200619 yr Am I the only guy who noticed that the Padres got a guy named "Ring" and a guy named "Bell", or am I just the only guy who thinks its worthy of anybody's attention?
