Re: McCoy: Reds considering Kevin Millwood, but DanO gunshy on free agents

Sure, the M's might get Millwood...but the REDS might get Gil Meche, and will be laughing all the way to 5th place.

BTW, does anyone think that last year DanO actually meant to sign MILLWOOD and not MILTON, and just figured that if the names were close, the quality was probably close as well?

Just a thought...

I think it is a fait accompli at this point. There really isn't much the Reds can do about it other than hope they are extremely lucky in 2006..

Hasn't that been the plan for the last few years?

Yep. They certainly haven't been building for the future. Instead each season is simply a one year plan to squeeze out as many wins as possible without any real thought or action to building a winner.
