I think you said Beane would accept Milledge for Zito before, and that is correct. Melky for Zito is not even considered an offer.
Stats mean nothing as of now. With the lack of games thus far, it is definitly unclear what either one will do. Melky has shown great patience at the plate for a rookie. His power has not shown yet. He will probobly be like Cano next season, high battign average and alot of hits.
Milledge has flashed his power. Although 19 at bats is no indication, the hype has been much higher than Melky's. With Floyd not producing, it is obvoius Milledge will be playing full time very soon. The only problem i could see happening with Milledge is his attitude, and i'm not talking about the incidentafter his home run. Milledge knows there is alot of hype surrounding him. If he does not produce, he will lose patience and hope, and this can be tough escpecially for a rookie.
But, Milledge will most likely produce as expected, and the Mets should have a corner outifielder for eyars to come, if he's not traded.
