I read somewhere that Millwood and his agent $cott Bora$ aren't going to consider any offers until Burnett signs with someone. Millwood is the only pitcher on the FA market that I really think the Tigers should consider seriously pursuing, but I just know that the high price Boras is going to get for him is something the Tigers can't and shouldn't afford.

Waits too long, check. Asking for too much money, check. Asking for a couple too many years, check. The only thing that doesn't fit the pattern is a lack of injury history (or anticipated injury nexus, as with the aging catcher Rodriguez) with Millwood, as opposed to Pudge & Magglio. But if we get to mid-January and Millwood hasn't signed yet, and we haven't picked up a starting pitcher somewhere along the way in the off-season to that point... It's a slippery slope from there. And probably at least a year too much and at least a couple of mil per year too much, to boot.
