Lastings Milledge is heading east.
According to a story in Sunday's Chicago Tribune, Milledge will be on the Chicago White Sox roster - barring any last minute moves - when the team leaves Maryvale, Ariz. and opens the regular season Friday afternoon in Cleveland.
A Palmetto native and Lakewood Ranch High alum, Milledge appears to be the team's fourth outfielder behind Juan Pierre, Alex Rios and Carlos Quentin, the story reads.
Milledge is hitting .298 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 18 games this spring with the White Sox. Chicago has three more exhibition games remaining before heading to Cleveland.
Milledge was a non-roster invitee to White Sox camp this spring after he spent all of last season and the summer of 2009 with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Milledge was the New York Mets' first pick of the '03 draft, and was traded by New York to the Washington Nationals in November 2007.
