The New York Mets will promote OF Lastings Milledge from AA.
Fantasy Impact: Milledge missed a bunch of time in the minors this year with a sprained ligament in his foot, but he's recovered nicely and posted a .342 AVG with 4 HR, 13 RBI, and 6 SB in his games both before and after the foot injury. He'll take over as the Mets starting LF, and with the aging and often hurt Moises Alou, he could be there for a while. When Alou gets back I'm not sure what will happen with Milledge given Beltran is entrenched in CF, and Green was acquired to start in RF. The Mets would be better off moving Milledge to RF and benching Green since Green has hardly impressed, but I doubt they'll do that to the veteran. At any rate, Milledge will have fringe mixed league value while starting every day. I'm not sure how ready he is given his mediocre performance last year, but his power/steal skill combination is definitely worth monitoring.
