Yes, its true that Millar can hit for power and was a major factor in the second half of the season. With that said, when you look at Mientkiewicz who is 30 (Millar is 33), he seems to be more of the complete package.
Fact: Mientkiewicz was the number 3 hitter on Minnesota. Fact: In 2003 he hit .300. Fact: There is literally no comparison btw Millar and Mientkiewicz on the field... And to tell you the truth. while Ive always thought he was a pretty good hitter ive never really liked Millar.
From the Cowboy Up non-sense to the team of 'Idiots' he's always made a point to do and say things that take away from the team. For example this whole mess with the team taking shots of JD before the world series to get fired up, why are u telling people that? Do you think thats a good message to the kids? or do you think your teamate will apprecaite that? Remeber when Millar trashed Fancona for not playing him one night... The same manager that stuck with him in the first half despite his dreadful performance...
The fact is that Millar is like a leech that always needs to be attached to the spotlight. He gets more recognition for things off the field than on it and frankly im fed up. This team doesnt revolve around you Millar, it never has and it never will. Its about the fans that have waited 86 years to bask in the glory of a championship, not abuot your pregame rituals whatever they may be.
Mientkiewicz is a soft spoken team player who goes out onto the field and does his job. All i can say is that i cant wait to see Millar play again, as long as its for another team...
