April 9, 200719 yr They aren't going to get the 9mil back by cutting him, today's effort wasn't bad, the guy is the 5th starter at this point, they could do worse at the 5 spot.
April 9, 200719 yr First of all, 4.25 is not awful. Secondly, today's outing was not that bad at all. :thumb: :thumb: Let's give the guy a chance this year. He's only had one start. If he doesn't get the job done after a few more starts, then I trust Wayne K. and Bob C. will do what is best for the Reds.
April 9, 200719 yr The only problem I had with him today was that he gave up 10+ hits, and he didn't even last 7 innings
April 9, 200719 yr Don't compare Milton to the rest of the staff, compare him to the rest of the 5's in the league...
April 9, 200719 yr The only problem I had with him today was that he gave up 10+ hits, and he didn't even last 7 inningsHe almost had a quality start. Seriously people, look at his numbers, not just losses. His ERA is not that bad, not good, but not horrible and he's given us at least 150 innings two years in a row, while being hurt. Two years ago, he gave us 185. Relax, let's give him a few healthy starts then we can rip him. And those saying Bailey should be up, am I the only one that saw him get ripped in ST? Let him go to AAA, get some good wins under his belt so he's not a basket case after gettin beat around for a month up here.
April 9, 200719 yr Don't compare Milton to the rest of the staff, compare him to the rest of the 5's in the league...Even 4's. :thumb: And if anyone says well he's making more money than a 4 or 5, you're right, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he is our 4 or 5, so let's jsut let him go. We got lucky or good and got Harang and Arroyo, let's just be thankful.

We got lucky or good and got Harang and Arroyo, let's just be thankful. I hope that our front office doesn't have this mind set. Milton is horrible regardless of salary. No one can convince me that we don't have a better option than Milton in the rotation. And if we are using him in the rotation simply because we are trying to "get our money's worth", well, our moneys worth will aid in our middle of the Central finish at Milton's rate. Yet again, for all new fathers of sons out there, Eric Milton is a shining example why you should tie your childs right arm behind his back and teach him to throw with the left.

April 9, 200719 yr Don't compare Milton to the rest of the staff, compare him to the rest of the 5's in the league... There aren't to many "5's" making 10+ million
April 9, 200719 yr Well if you think about it....He signed for 3 years $25 million. Year one $7 mill = 8-15 record year two $8 mill = 8-8 year three $10 mill = ??? He gets better with money. Looks like he's on pace for 15-8 maybe?? :D
