Lastings Milledge has been more mature this spring and was rewarded with a roster spot on the big league club.
"A lot of people expect a lot of things out of me," Milledge said. "When I start doing those things, and when people can actually look at me in a key situation or I'm coming through for the team, that's when I'll start getting excited. Right now, I'm on the team, I have a spot and I'm grateful and excited. But it don't stop here."
General manager Omar Minaya repeated Friday that Shawn Green will be the starting rightfielder.
