MLB Trade Rumors: Lastings Milledge on the Block?
Fake Teams (Free subscription) | 19/11/2008
The Washington Nationals recently traded 2b prospect Emilio Bonifacio to the Florida Marlins for OFer Josh Willingham and SP Scott Olsen. This deal added to an already crowded OF in Washington. Washington's list of outfielders include Willingham, Lastings Milledge, Austin Kearns, Elijah Dukes, Willie Harris and Wily Mo Pena. After the deal, some speculated that Willingham may play 1b...

So, Austin Kearns Anyone?
DRaysBay (Free subscription) | 11/11/2008
The Nats acquired Josh Willingham (and a crappy pitcher) for Emilio Bonifacio and two prospects, leaving them with Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge, Willie Harris, Austin Kearns, and Wily Mo Pena on the outs. Even if Willingham is shifted to first to replace annual paraplegic Nick Johnson the Nats are still looking at a bit of a log jam. Kearns makes the most of the potential benched...

... seemed like legitimate options for our outfield, but who did we go and get? Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes — projects who had worn out welcomes in other places. I’m not mad that we didn’t sign the pricey free agents. I knew that we needed more than just a 3-year rental at a free agent prices. I’m mad that these big names get brought up in rumors and trick me, even if just for...

Could it Be? Could the Washington Nationals Have Really Done Something … Productive?
The Big Lead (Free subscription) | 11/11/2008
... might the Nationals have finally turned a corner? The team will have a trio of outfielders - Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge and Willingham - that can hit, and will probably get better over the next few years. Ronnie Belliard had a pretty good year, and Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young make a capable 1B tandem, assuming they’re not beset by horrific season-ending injuries. Now, Bowden...

... spoiled rotten brats) collective under Manny Acta. I’m predicting a fistfight between Olsen and Elijah Dukes during spring training, with Lastings Milledge kicking Olsen in the ribs once Dukes wrestles him down.

The Nationals had a super awesome jersey release party at the ESPN Zone in D.C. today. It went down at Noon … on a Thursday … and featured such superstars as Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes … and such shitty, overpriced food as the Zone Cheese Steak and Cajun Burger. God, that place fucking blows. [...]

THE NEW YORK METS SLOGAN FOR 2009: BRING THE HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Eddie Kranepool Society (Free subscription) | 30/10/2008
... players who take offense to being hated. This team of 2008 took the hate in stride. Remember the Elijah Dukes incident with Mike Pelfrey? It was good that Brian Schiender stepped between Dukes and Big Pelf but being that there is a history of disrespect between the Nats and Mets, Schiender should have Varetek-ed Dukes. By Vartek-ed I mean how Jason Vartek smacked the...

... You decided to publicly speak out on some of the things that went wrong. You thought the gestures Elijah Dukes made at Shea Stadium were wrong and you hinted about the team needing to spend money. You are only 23 years old. What made you decide to speak up, which you had never done before? Zimmerman: Obviously, I’m a younger guy, but I think a lot of pressure is put on me to be the...

What the Rays Have Taught Us…
Bugs and Cranks (Free subscription) | 27/10/2008
... a punk is just a punk: By a show of hands, how many people in Tampa are wishing the team still had Elijah Dukes? Precisely. Not every abrasive thug is just a hug away from being the talented little boy scout we want him to be. Sometimes, they’re just wastes of time, talented or not. The Rays didn’t even think twice about Dukes and his 81 games of mediocrity, while they soared...

Do You Draft Players You Hate?
Roto Authority Fantasy Baseball (Free subscription) | 24/10/2008
... my trash talk - rip on another guy for drafting one of the jerks of the game while quietly adding Elijah Dukes to my roster. I'm also quick to draft White Sox players despite being a Cubs fan. Do you avoid players because you dislike them? I usually disregard all personal feelings and treat each player as a set of stats. But in time, I come to root for my players and that's hard to...
