All the current talk in Metsland is of the trade of prospect Lastings Milledge for two veterans. Milledge will presumably play center field for the Nats. The last two seasons, the Nats' primary starters in center have been Nook Logan in 2007 (2007 OPS .649) and Marlon Byrd in 2006 (2006 OPS .667) -- you can't get much worse than that.
Of the 5 guys who have played the most games in center field in Nats/Expos franchise history, two have also played for the Mets:
1. Andre Dawson 1,027
2.Marquis Grissom 610
3. Rondell White 513
4. Herm Winningham 331
5. Endy Chavez 303
The players who have played the most career games in center field against the Mets:
1. Willie Davis 200
2. Andruw Jones 173
3. Garry Maddox 160
4. Willie Mays 149
5. Curt Flood 136
Though Willie Davis played most of his career for the D0dgers, his prime fell during the period (1962-1968) when the Mets played every team in the NL 18 times, including the West Coast teams, and Davis played in center for years after that as well, including two seasons (1974 and most of 1975) in the NL East.
