My Take

Lastings Milledge is one of those guys who had "can't-miss prospect" written all over him, and watching his career unfold was both exciting and a little bittersweet. He came up with the Mets in 2006 as the youngest player in the National League that year, all raw talent and upside, and you could see the tools were absolutely real — speed, arm, bat, the whole package. The journey through New York, Washington, Pittsburgh, and Chicago never quite let him put it all together for a sustained run, but the fact that he later crossed the Pacific to play for the Yakult Swallows in Japan shows the kind of career adaptability and love of the game that I genuinely respect. A guy who kept playing on his own terms, wherever the game would have him.
