Maybe his cell phone battery died?

It would appear Scott Boras may be losing his touch. The AP reports that he who manages to steer all his clients into the largest of pocketbooks available, apparently can't get anyone to trump the Indians' bid for Kevin Millwood.

After negotiations were held up for weeks because of "medical tests the Indians required of Millwood, personal matters and Boras being tied up with other high-profile free agent clients," Millwood is looking like signing with the Tribe for a year and $7 mil. Shaaaww!!!! (decrepid Wayne and Garth reference). I think the reality of it is that Boras, offer in hand, spent the last two weeks making a call to each of the other 29 teams in baseball. At least the Indians were public enough about what they're offer was that he couldn't try to represent it as double what it really was, ala ARod.

Millwood to the Tribe, eh? I guess if he can stay healthy he's just a small step down from Lieber and Clement. None of them are really any cause for excitement, although with pitchers spending their early 30's pulling out miraculous contract years - maybe we'll see something nice out of Millwood before he leaves after a year sticking way out of Larry Dolan's wallet.

A side note - another Juan Gone sighting in that article as Mark Shapiro appears to be adding 20 home runs and 65 games to the lineup.
