Not only is Millwood in a contract year, he is literally pitching for a contract.

Knowing this Millwood has got himself into some of the best shape in his career. He started working out in November, and has gained strength in the areas he was injured last season (hamstring, groin). He had a decent Spring, and is said to be confident and ready to go for the season. Whenever Millwood is healthy (which isn't often) he is an all stat caliber pitcher. With all that said I think Milwood is in store for a great season, and if today was any sign, I think that may be right.
Not to mention Lee was off this Spring. He relies, and must have control to be successful. He didn't have that this Spring. He had way to many walks. Everybody saw what happened 2 years ago when his control wasn't pinpoint. he simply doesn't have the stuff to get big league hitters out if he isn't hitting his spots with pin point control. Anyone who dug into this game would have sen Rangers or nothing, hence the huge drop in number. I was happy with my +118 though.
nice call GD
