When he was first called up, people thought he was a budding star, but things like this don’t help.

Sounds like someone is acting his shoe size instead of his age down in Venezuela.
Thought Lasting might change after his wild times as a youth in St. Petersburg before he had to move away and attend school in Bradenton for his seniot year.
Guess some people can hide their personalities for a while until it spouts a leak and floods everyone with it again.
Some guys learn, some just hide it until they ill advisely throw it out there for other to hate all over again.
Hope this knocked some sense into him.

I didn’t realize the past problems of Milledge. Thanks for pointing that out Rays Renegade. I knew he had a rough past, but didn’t realize it was that bad.
I’m glad he is no longer a pirate. I can’t root for players who are bad news. He’s had three organizations to make a change and didn’t. He will have to suffer the consenquences.
