Rotowire on Millage
Milledge has gone just 4-for-34 in Grapefruit League action since manager Manny Acta named him the Nationals' leadoff hitter, the team's web site reports.
Spin:
"We know what Milledge can do," Acta said. "He is taking some good swings and he's working on stuff. The stats for the guys who are on the team really don't matter at all." Milledge, however, doesn't sound like he's ready to change his approach at the plate just because he's setting the table. "I'm not an 80-to-100-walk guy," Milledge said. "I'm going to be an aggressive leadoff hitter like [Cristian Guzman]. I'll run a little bit. That's all I'm trying to do." If Guzman is his role model, it could be a long year for Milledge owners.

I got the above from ESPN fantasy baseball.
Sure wish Acta and Kasten would read "The Book". I know Acta is aware of VORP and other stats.

I hope the Acta spin is not what he's really telling the players
Where’s Eckstein in this, where the top two guys in the order don’t believe in OBP…..
