After Brian Bannister’s a sizzling start, which resulted in many people criticizing Omar Minaya for ever trading him, he has sunk back to earth.  Bannister was traded to the Royals for RP Ambiorix Burgos prior to the 2007 season.  Burgos is now recovering from Tommy John Surgery

Bannister began the year with two earned runs in his first three outings, however since then has lost his last four starts.  He now has a record of 3-4 with a 4.46 ERA. 

Meanwhile, Lastings Milledge has been unimpressive thus far with the Nationals.  Milledge is batting .256 with with only one HR and 11 RBIs.
