Red_soxrangers_3797
Running a quick projection/regression using 4.8 R/G as the AL average and 8/4/2/1 for Millwood's Rangers performance, I get a value of 2.5 WAR, which would be worth $11.25M on the year. If you consider his age, 2 WAR would not be surprising, meaning that Millwood would not be...

An idle question

Let's assume Kevin Millwood didn't have a vesting option for 2010.  He either was under contract for 2010, or is a free agent after 2009, either way. Given that this season is toast, and given that Millwood has been horrible for 2+ months, wouldn't the organization...

Should the Rangers then be sellers? There’s a case for it, perhaps shopping Kevin Millwood, Hank Blalock, C.J. Wilson, and others who would have value in the market and who have no role on the team going forward. Millwood, having his best season in years, would be one of the top...
