I think Millwood should be considered a No 3, and maybe a weak No 2 spot in the rotation. If the Mets get him for more than 7 or 8 million a year someone please shoot me

As far as possible payoff goes, Pudge knows certainly well he won't be worth 10 million in 4-5 years. If he has 3 great (not just decent) seasons left it would be a miracle.
Where as Millwood still could improve and become a dominate pitcher for the next 5 years.
I heard a tidbit that Milwood was holding out for (and maybe had on the table, according to his agent, Boras, right?) a 5 year 75 mil deal.
I'm sure thats just hype, but it makes the situation laughable, and easy for the Phillies to say..."OK Kevin.....you better take that then".
I've always thought KM a good pitcher...BUT only as a number 2, he just isn't a number one, unless he's in Detroit or something.
The only guy who has ever bought the "well we've got a X dollar for Y years offer on the table, so heres what you need to do" was Tom Hicks.
If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me.

Shoot me first.
I'd laugh so hard if the Mets signed Millwood at all.
Isn't that other ex-Brave former superstar a free agent too?
Seeing Maddux, Millwood and Glavine in Mets uniforms would be among the funniest things I've ever seen
