One vote for 'no.'
You're mean
For the record I don't think the Brewers will win 82 games this year either.

Righty, has some power, and is decent defensively. Not a bad move.
Better than signing Delmon Young at any rate.

lol. not happening. Mexico is winning it because the other team's do not take it that seriously. Also, as much as i hate the Yaquis who beat my home team, they have amazing starting pitching and great defense.

Kevin Millwood has announced his retirement from baseball. He finishes up at age 38 with 169 career victories and 2,083 career strikeouts over 16 seasons with the Braves, Phillies, Indians, Rangers, Orioles, Rockies, and Mariners.
Going into the offseason, Millwood told his agent, Scott Boras, that he was only interested in accepting deals with the Braves or Rays, the two teams closest to his home in Gainesville, GA. Neither team expressed interest, so he called it a career.
After graduating from Bessemer City High School in Bessemer City, North Carolina, he was an 11th round draft pick (320th overall) by the Braves in the 1993 MLB Draft.
His finest season statistically came in 1999 with the Braves, going 18-7 with a 2.68 ERA, finishing third in NL Cy Young voting, behind winner Randy Johnson (Diamondbacks) and first-runner-up Mike Hampton (Astros). It was his only season with over 200 strikeouts (205). He also recorded a WHIP of 0.996. It was his heaviest career workload, pitching a total of 269.1 innings (228 regular season innings, 41.1 postseason innings). 1999 was also Millwood's lone career All-Star appearance. fWAR has him at a 5.7 WAR for 1999.
Millwood pitched in four career postseasons, all with the Braves from 1999-2002. He was 3-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 9 postseason appearances (7 starts, 2 relief appearances).
Millwood pitched a no-hitter with the Phillies on April 27, 2003 against the Giants. He also participated in a combined no-hitter on June 8, 2012 with the Mariners against the Dodgers. After throwing 6 hitless innings, Millwood was forced to leave the game with a groin injury. The Mariners bullpen finished it off with 3 hitless innings.
Baseball-Reference estimates Millwood made a total of $90 million over his 16-season career.

The Pirates will continue to find new ways to crush their fans' dreams of a winning season. In fact, I predict they will be more games over .500 than there are left to play, and then will somehow lose games retroactively.
It's Cal Tech what do you expect
I dunno but have 2 of your teams with over 200 game losing streams is pretty epic.

Bourn next?
Didn't Garth Brooks get one a few years ago?

No, he was just a one-and-done spring training gimmick like Billy Crystal for the Yankees. Although Brooks did it for charity.

I wonder if the Mets are going to give Daisuke a minor-league deal. Why not at this point?

Holding on Crabtree.
You think? I mean yeah I guess he held him but it's tough to call OPI in that situation.

Especially when Crabtree actually held 1st so he could try to pushoff.
