If things would've been different in 2003

In 2003, the New York Mets drafted CF Lastings Milledge as their first pick which was the 12th in the first round. Going 13th right after him, the Blue Jays drafted then SS Aaron Hill. What would of happened if the Mets drafted Aaron Hill instead of Lastings Millege?

In five seasons with the Blue Jays, Hill has an average of .285, .337 on base percentage, and .434 slugging. In 2009, Hill hit 36 HR, 108 RBIs, drove in 103 runs, batted .286 and was an All-Star.

Would things of been different if we drafted Aaron Hill instead of Lastings Milledge? Yup. Hill would've been the short stop we're in need of. Sure, we wouldn't of gotten Ryan Church and Brian Schneider in the Milledge trade but that doesn't bother me.

Just another woulda/coulda/shoulda.
