Nationals, Pirates Swap Milledge, Morgan
The announcement was made by Pirates Senior Vice President, General Manager Neal Huntington. Milledge, 24, began the season with Washington and spent a majority of the 2009 campaign with Triple-A Syracuse. He was on a rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Nationals at the time of the trade due to a broken finger on his right hand suffered on May 11 while playing with Syracuse. "In both Hanrahan and Milledge we have acquired players with the upside to be solid to above average major league players," said Huntington. "Hanrahan had a strong season in his first year as a relief pitcher in 2008 and has the arsenal to pitch in late game situations in a quality Major League bullpen. Milledge was one of the premier prospects in baseball. He is still young enough and has the tools to develop into an above average Major League player. We have the confidence in our staff to help each of these players reach their high ceilings."
