That about sums up my reaction as well. Millwood is rather like JEFF WEAVER in terms of the meaning of his signing. Of course that 08 club imploded horribly, but Weaver was signed on a fungible one-year contract because the club wanted to win now without risking long term comitments in the rotation. The good news is that Millwood will cost about 1/8th as much as Weaver did and the results will probably be a bit better. :)
But the concept is the same...cheap guy you can shed whenever you want to but is a warm body that takes the pressure off of Furbush and Beavan and any other youth. Maybe Z acquired Furbush and decided he really didn't like his chances of staying healthy? That would be my first guess.
