WAS trades Lastings Milledge, Joel Hanrahan to PIT for Nyjer Morgan and Sean Burnett. (nm)

Posted by musubi Jun 30 '09, 15:42

Coming into the season Milledge and Hanrahan were supposed to be the starting CF and Closer, respectively. How their stock has fallen.

Seems like a decent deal for both sides, I think Morgan is a natural CF, so WAS can move Dukes to a corner, and Dunn can go to 1B. Nick Johnson is for sale.

For PIT, Morgan was just a poor man's Andrew McCutchen, it seems, so I can see why they could deal him. Milledge still has a lot of upside, imo. Hanrahan...well, he throws hard.

There's symmetry in a guy named Lastings being traded from Washington to Pittsburgh. -- nm - pmb Jun 30, 15:48
