http://www.newsday.com/sports/printedition...ny-sports-print This kid is gone from this team. His last day as a Met will be sunday. He'll be traded for a #4 starter or bullpen guy in the off season. The Beltran blurb is a little more disturbing though. |

In his career maybe. But he's leaving the Mets organization that's for sure. |

If you think a player is a future star, you don't trade him because of attitude problems. If the Brewers could do it again, don't you think they would keep Gary Sheffield? |

He can turn out to be a total cancer for the team. Sad thing to see. He needs to do some soul searching this winter.. |

What makes you so damn sure the Mets aren't gonna trade him? So far, he hasn't really lived up to his hype; and he's pissing people off in the clubhouse. As far as I can see, right now, anything can happen. |

People are overreacting, not everyone with high potential start off as stars right away, people need patience and Milledge needs to humble himself |

And everyone talks about him being a five tool player. At least when Reyes struggled early, we saw a few of those tools. We saw his base stealing and his defensive ability. With Milledge we've seen nothing. Like Reyes did, he has no idea what he is doing at the plate. But unlike Reyes, he's been terrible on the basepaths and he can't catch fly balls. |

When Reyes first came up all we saw was a player that pulled a muscle every time he laid a fart. Reyes also made errors on routine ground balls. Additionally he was undisciplined at the plate. But the health problems seem to be gone; he has developed into an outstanding defensive shortstop and an offensive force. Please give LM at least as much patience as you did with Reyes. LM has shown flashes of power, an excellent throwing arm and he has great speed. The last guy the Mets got rid of b/c some veterans did not like his attitude was Scott Kazmir. You guys ready to make the same mistake again. For all we know the guy who wrote the note might be gone next year. In the meantime LM was protected by El Dugue and Franco. The front office knows he has the tools to be a super star otherwise he would have never been called up. They were hoping he could accelerate his development but it didn’t happen. They may trade him but I doubt if they will be stupid enough to give him away. |

But your comparing apples to organges. Reyes didn't have the attitude problems like Milledge has now.. And it's that attitude that will slow his growth on the field and in the club house. |

You don’t know in what area his so called attitude problems are. According to Willie LM is a hard worker. |
