Pirates & Nats swap 4

HiEnd · 06-30-2009, 05:57 PM

Pirates acquired OF Lastings Milledge and RHP Joel Hanrahan from the Nationals for OF Nyjer Morgan and LHP Sean Burnett.

Milledge, a 24-year-old former first-round pick of the Mets, is currently rehabbing from a broken finger. He is expected to be healthy in the next week or two. Milledge started the '09 season 4-for-24 and was quickly demoted to Triple-A, but is still one heck of a talent. If he's ever able to pull it all together, the Pirates could be in for a real treat.

I thought Morgan was doing great in Pittsburgh while Burnett was just another LHP with the team. Hanrahan had fallen out of the closer's job this year & was going to be booted out by July 31st. I don't like this deal for the Pirates at all, it's like they are quitting before they stink like usual.
