Rangers get Millwood

[ahhchon]

the orioles of not too long ago never had a shot because of their pitching staff. the blue jays have a very very solid staff anchored by halladay.

The FO hasn't really done anything bad at all, and have fallen victim to an insane spending spree by MLBs big spenders. Look at all the inflated contracts: B.J. Ryan, Johnny Damon (IMO), A.J. Burnett, Reggie Sanders, otehrs, and now Millwood. Also these are very Epsteinian decisions (staying put with a reasonable offer) ala Pedro Martinez. It actually will turn out much better in the years to come.

I couldn't agree more. No spending 60 million on Millwood, and 52 on Damon. Lets us save our money when any real big names hit the free agent market. Texeira, Cabrera, Jason Bay, Roy Oswalt, Derek Lee, these are the names you break the bank for. Not Johnny Damon and Kevin Millwood.

the next two free agent classes will easily top this one and im happy the red sox will did not overpay for average free agents in this class.

Interesting to see how Millwood pitches against the Sox opening day

Be interesting to see a Beckett vs Millwood opening day pitching matchup. Boston had swooped in on the failed Marlins talks to nab Beckett from Texas, and Texas did the same to Boston on Millwood when they werent budging from their proposed offer.
