The Seattle Mariners ink Kevin Millwood
The Mariners have signed 37-year old righty starting pitcher Kevin Millwood to a minor league deal. Millwood pitched in 9 games (all starts) for the Rockies last year and he was 4-3 with a 3.98 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He has now pitched in 423 games (415 starts) in his first 15 years in the majors and he is 163-140 with a 4.10 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. Millwood won the ERA title in 2005 (2.86) when pitching for Mariners’ manager Eric Wedge in Cleveland, so maybe he has a surprise season in store for the Mariners.
