WHY VETERANS GIVE STABILITY

Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, the master of baseball blabber, the God to us all, has twatted that the Yankees are still looking at veteran pitcher Kevin Millwood. Crazy I know, but not a bad idea. Why? Because the Yankees, for the first time in the off season don't have a sure thing.

Touching base with guys like Kevin Millwood are a good thing. Relationship building for 1, and secondly, the longer Millwood is out there, the cheaper his price will become. Look, Millwood is an innings eater like no one I've seen (other than CC) and his health is relatively good compared to the other free agents out there. He's actually a good choice. People like my friend Chet would choose Millwood over a Bartolo Colon just because of the "chunk" factor alone. Then, when you add in Millwood's stability and years and Chet would definitely agree, it's the better choice for a back of the rotation pitcher.

So, if the Yanks can keep in contact with this horse the whole way through, maybe they can lasso Millwood cheap come February 18th or something. It just makes sense. Now, it's not an easy game. There are plenty of teams talking to this guy, the Indians, the Orioles, and who knows what the evil Red Sox will do, but the reality is Millwood's a smart idea, just alittle too expensive for the Yankees taste right now.
