Did the 1970's Dodgers do that, go out and trade for Jack Billingham to block the ten flamethrowers they had banging the door down?
Dang straight!
But in a perverse sort of way I like the Millwood strategy. Sign him cheap. Be straight up with him: He may get 8 starts, he may get 28...and it won't be based on his performance probably.
Vargas must start and I think you have to see what Furbish has. Beavan, then? What to do with him? Tough one for me, because I'm higher on him that most around here.
Best case scenario? Millwood is actually decent! Swap him out, sell high.
Low risk, high reward: Hold down the fort for the young guns. Win/Win.
I like.
