Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Things Scott Boras and George "Babyface" Nelson have in common

Boras spoke to the media and basically demanded 5 years for Millwood, and at least 55 million.  Think the Mariners will go that far?

Boras compared Millwood to Pedro.  That is ridiculous.

Maybe he should have used one of these names
Comps from baseball reference:

Similar Pitchers through Age 30

   1. Alex Fernandez (966)
   2. Jim Bunning (962) *
   3. Jack McDowell (951)
   4. Pat Hentgen (951)
   5. Kevin Appier (950)
   6. Mike Flanagan (950)
   7. John Smiley (949)
   8. Freddy Garcia (945)
   9. Ron Darling (944)
  10. Bartolo Colon (942)

Not bad, but not Pedro Martinez.

Quite a bit of variability...
in that list.  As for comparing to Pedro, I think very few pitchers can ever be compared to Pedro.  At least in his prime.  Even now.

Pedro >>>>> Millwood
That wasn't Boras' point.  

His point was:  As Pedro was the best pitcher on the 2004/5 market, Millwood is the best on the 2005/6 market.  Pedro left Boston when the Mets offered 'im the 4th year.  Likewise, Millwood's going to take 5 years.

And don't tell me...
Burnett's the better pitcher.  Burnett's contract, and the reason lots of people liked him better, is for his upside.

Boras is an assbag
I wonder who would cave in to such a ridiculous demand coughstlouiscough
