Worried about Kevin Millwood actually being good this year and perhaps offering us a challenge, don't: Millwood actually owns a tRA of 5.68 and a tRA* of 5.24. My jaw is still dropped from the sizable gap between Millwood's ability and his ERA. You can file this kind of gap under: Something's gotta give, and soon. Hopefully tonight is that night as Wandy Rodriguez tries to stabilize and continue to not tip his curveball.
