I don't know if that can be right. According to the Globe's Gordon Edes, even with PawSox first baseman Roberto Petagine's great numbers in June (.370, 6 HR, 21 RBI), they are still quoted as saying "but the Sox have no room for him (Petagine)." That's got to mean that Millar is going nowhere anytime soon, and that he is fine with his playing time.... why wouldn't he be?
If you want to talk rumors, what about Bill Mueller or Jay Payton for a reliever? Payton is unhappy about his playing time and say a guy like oh.... KAPLER could be back. As far as Mueller goes, the guy's contract ends at the end of the year and Youk has shown signs that he's ready to step in.
